Hmm, with "casted" you mean something like Google Chromecast? Would you be able to share more details on how it's set up? So I can try to replicate it.

Hi!!!

Here's a tutorial to cast a dashboard. You don't need the blueprint. After the first connection is setup, you can go to the "Media" section. There you will find your dashboards, from there you can cast any dashboard to the devices on your network.

This issue had nothing to do with the plugin. I'm really sorry for wasting your time.

In case anyone else runs into this. The problem was DNS related, sometimes Google devices try to resolve only via 8.8.8.8. With some firewall magic it is possible to override that behavior and get this to work :).

No worries, your setup is something I wanted to try anyway. Good you got it working 👍.
