I needed a script to enable my LLM to start Plex media playback on my Chromecasts.
After a few trials and errors. It seems to be working properly for a week now.
You should be able to adapt the 'player_data' template to pull the right entities.
In this case, it looks for chromecast since all my TVs entities end with that such as media_player.bedroom_chromecast
It is located under the variable declaration
variables:
player_data:
{% if media_player %}
{{integration_entities('cast')
| expand
| selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'chromecast')
| selectattr('entity_id', 'search', media_player.split(' ') | first | lower)
| map(attribute='entity_id') | list }}
{% elif area %}
{{ integration_entities('cast')
| expand
| selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'chromecast')
| selectattr('entity_id', 'search', area.split(' ') | first | lower)
| map(attribute='entity_id') | list }}
{% endif %}
Here is the complete script YAML
