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

$ 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 :)
