Reboot-Chromecast

Windows PowerShell script that will reboot Chromecast devices on my local network.
You will likely need to edit this script if you want to use it.

This script uses

• gpsoauth by simon-weber
• this gist by rithvikvibhu to retrieve the master_token and the access_token.
• grpcurl by fullstorydev to invoke RPC on googlehomefoyer-pa.googleapis.com:443

The script assumes that you have

• set an environment variable named HOMEGRAPH_SERVICE_ACCOUNT to your Google service account's email address <service-account-name>@<project-id>.iam.gserviceaccount.com
• hard-coded your Google master token by setting the environment variable GOOGLE_MASTER_TOKEN to the value of your master token
• In this case, I have set an environment variable entitled CHROMECASTMAC to my Chromecast MAC address. This isn't necessary, but it was convenient for me during testing as a way to quickly retrieve that value.

You will need to remove the parameter DeviceName's default value unless you also happen to have a Chromecast named Nick's Bedroom TV

Quick Start

Once you have set your environment variables, you can make Reboot-Chromecast available in a Windows PowerShell session by running the commands below.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force;
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072;
