chromecast-kiosk

Use chromecasts to display websites and act as dashboards, information displays or digitial signage.

Features

  • Cast websites without browser
  • Reload websites after a certian timeout
  • Re(Cast) the website when a user stops their cast

Installation

  1. Install dependencies with yarn install
  2. Copy the config.example.json to config.json and adjust it
  3. Specify one or multiple chromecasts hosts and the website that they should display
  4. run node index.js
  5. The chromecasts will start to cast the website

As soon as you stop the website casting and cast your own content the application will wait until you stop casting and will start the casting again (after 60s timeout).
