I will go over how to install cast-web-api, how to add device handlers and the smartapp in SmartThings IDE, how to connect Google Home to SmartThings, and how to setup automations both in SmartThings new rule engine as well as in webCoRE. I will also give 6 examples of how this feature can bring your Home Automation setup to the next level.
This will be accomplished by installing and setting up cast-web-api, which can be installed on several different devices such as raspberry pi, Windows, Mac, Linux, and even Android devices! For this video I will be going over how to install on a raspberry pi, but setup and automation tips and tricks are the same no matter where cast-web-api is installed.
