- Issue of the topic:
I was wondering if its possible to let my amazon echo play/pause my chromecast with voice commands.
Controlling the volume with voice commands works fine already.
The Chromecast Bindings addon has a channel called “control” of type “player” which seems to support Play and Pause.
I got the volume control working as its just set up as a “dimmer” with the tag [ “switchable” ]
Dimmer LivingRoomChromecastVolume "Chromecast Volume" <soundvolume> [ "Switchable" ] { channel="chromecast:chromecast:XXXX:volume" }
I could not find the appropriate tag to let my alexa app find the player
Player LivingRoomChromecastControl "Chromecast Control" <mediacontrol> { channel="chromecast:chromecast:XXXX:control" }
Is that even possible?
