# Casting the Card
|
|
|
|
This card can be (Chrome) casted to a device (such as a [Nest
|
|
Hub](https://store.google.com/us/product/nest_hub_2nd_gen)) through the use of
|
|
[Home Assistant Cast](https://cast.home-assistant.io/).
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
* Visit [Home Assistant Cast](https://cast.home-assistant.io/) and click `Start Casting`
|
|
* Enter your Home Assistant URL, and authorize your account.
|
|
* Click `Start Casting` and choose the device to cast to from the browser menu.
|
|
* Choose which view/dashboard to display.
|
|
* If successful, the view will be cast to the device.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
Casting Home Assistant dashboards comes with a number of caveats:
|
|
|
|
* Home Assistant Casting does not support the HA `streaming` component
|
|
([source](https://cast.home-assistant.io/faq.html)). This means clips playing
|
|
and the `ha` live provider can not work. Other live providers such as `jsmpeg`
|
|
and `webrtc-card` function correctly.
|
|
* The Javascript fullscreen API does not work (so the fullscreen button does not
|
|
work, but see below for an equivalent).
|
|
|
|
## Recommended configuration for Nest Hub
|
|
|
|
Using a `panel` dashboard with the following base configuration will result in
|
|
the card consuming the entire device screen:
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
type: custom:frigate-card
|
|
cameras:
|
|
- camera_entity: camera.office
|
|
live_provider: go2rtc
|
|
dimensions:
|
|
aspect_ratio: 1024:600
|
|
aspect_ratio_mode: static
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
