CAST device not working

[mvaneijken]

My Home Assistant version: 2022.8.7

What I am doing: I’m having a Nest Hub that I want to register as a CAST device. Therefor I configured the “Register CAST device” option as described here

What I expected to happen: In the registered browsers section I would expect that “CAST” is reporting “Last connected: xx minutes ago”.

What happened instead: In the registered browsers section I would expect that “CAST” is reporting “Last connected: Never”.

Minimal steps to reproduce: Open Browser Mod settings. In the "Registered Browser" section press "Register Cast Browser".

Did you also cast a dashboard panel to the device?

[mvaneijken]

Yes I did. I'm casting this using this action in an automation:

service: cast.show_lovelace_view
data:
  entity_id: media_player.nesthub4753
  dashboard_path: lovelace-cast
  view_path: cast
