Sometimes, I tell to Google “Up the volume”, or “Down the volume” on one or several chromecast devices. But the next day, when I want to listen music again, the volume of each device does not match with my mood. I would love to reset all the volumes in few secondes, but I have to open the home application, and reset each device… Boring… With chromecast-reset-volume
I can now configure some presets to autoreset the volumes as it was previously: reset all in one cli command :)
What do you need
- 1 raspberry pi with python3
- chromecasts… (of course)
Get source files and install it
$ git clone https://github.com/gpenverne/chromecast-reset-volume
$ make install
Configure it!
Open the config.py
and customize your presets. For example:
VOLUMES = {
'default': {
'123.123.123.123': 0.5,
'tv': 0.4,
'room': 0.1
}
}
You can write the chromecast name or its ip address (ip address will be faster).
Let’s the magic does the magic :)
$ make apply
And all your configured chromecasts volumes will be setted :)
