Make sound volume presets for your chromecasts

Read the original article on GKDV

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

<span>$ </span>git clone https://github.com/gpenverne/chromecast-reset-volume
<span>$ </span>make <span>install</span>
<span>$ </span>git clone https://github.com/gpenverne/chromecast-reset-volume
<span>$ </span>make <span>install</span>
$ git clone https://github.com/gpenverne/chromecast-reset-volume
$ make install

Configure it!

Open the config.py and customize your presets. For example:

<span>VOLUMES</span> <span>=</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>'default'</span><span>:</span> <span>{</span>
       <span>'123.123.123.123'</span><span>:</span> <span>0.5</span><span>,</span>
       <span>'tv'</span><span>:</span> <span>0.4</span><span>,</span>
       <span>'room'</span><span>:</span> <span>0.1</span>
    <span>}</span>
<span>}</span>
<span>VOLUMES</span> <span>=</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>'default'</span><span>:</span> <span>{</span>
       <span>'123.123.123.123'</span><span>:</span> <span>0.5</span><span>,</span>
       <span>'tv'</span><span>:</span> <span>0.4</span><span>,</span>
       <span>'room'</span><span>:</span> <span>0.1</span>
    <span>}</span>
<span>}</span>
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 🙂

<span>$ </span>make apply
<span>$ </span>make apply
$ make apply

And all your configured chromecasts volumes will be setted 🙂
