hi, i`m new to this and as the title say my cromcast media player become unavailable over night, i notice over a period of time after the lg tv is off,
How can i stop the player not to become unavailable ?
if chromecast media player is unavailable the tv will not turn on because the player cant turn on the tv from tv button it need to be turn on from chromcast player
thank you

have you checked logs for disconnections on router side? Try to set static ip for chromecast in router and chromecast to dhcp/automatic
how do you power the chromecast?
Any settings in chromecast that puts device asleep?

so the tv have chromcast in it, but when i connect in to HA i need to tv be on 1 player and to add also his chromcast witch is in tv somewhere idk ...
the tv have 2 polayers in HA, 1 for tv 1 for chrtomcast from inside tv
k, now the HA have static ip in my router, the tv have no static ip, i did not put the rule
is not router fault coz is not set to restart or power on of at night, is on non-stop
the tv dont have no script exept a few
like when i say turn on lg player he turn n the tv chromcast then wait till the chrom cast become idle on tv then close the chromcast player and change source on live tv on tv for normal channels
2 player so the tv can perform the ON state when i ask
because if i press the tv ON button in player the tv will not power on, i need to power on the chrom cast media player , witch is turning on the tv also
idk why is that ... but anyway... i need thechromcast media player witch is in tv to not become unavailable in HA after some time

then, is your network interface on tv going to sleep after ??? hours, check energy or system settings on tv i guess.

no no wait
the problem is the chromecast
for this to work again in the morning i need to manual turn on the tv from remote so it can become available state from unavailable state chromecast
no need to do anything else , just turn on the tv from remote and then the chrome cast player become available and everything works again
my tv is auto turning off after 1h of inactivity, but in the day when i turn off the tv the chrome cast player is ok is working, only in the night is doing this, maybe because is stay more time not to use it
idk is weird, is like the HA find the chrome cast turn off and idle and it make it unavailable because is not in use
btw sry my eng

Again, this will be caused by lg going to sleep > after a while the chromecast on tv will go to deep sleep, wich makes both sensors not reachable from ha. Check your tv and disable power saving options, or look for something like "fast boot / quick start" option and disable. Also look in network settings on your tv for options like "network standby" or something similar. All those options listed above will prevent tv/chromecast going to deep sleep. As i so not have a lg tv, i do not know the exact words for the options.
pls give model number of tv

LG is webos right? there are much better options to turn your LG TV on and off without needing chromecast

Yeah don't use Chromecast, use wake on LAN.

still you do have to set the right power options in tv, otherwise LG remote doesn't wake the tv either. Or am i mistaken ?

ty a lot guys, so my lg tv is on wireless not on cable, from what i know the tv need to be on cable to be "wake on lan" right ?
kind flower
if hardware supports it, it can be done wireless
