https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Home-Automation/stop-casting/m-p/595825#M44616 <P>I have an automation which turns on the radio for an hour, but at the end it pauses the radio, but does not stop casting. This means I am using data unneccessarily, and if I touch the speaker accidentally the cast resumes. Is there any way to instruct it to stop casting rather than pause the speaker after a period of time?</P> Tue, 13 Feb 2024 14:00:07 GMT rogerdavies 2024-02-13T14:00:07Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Home-Automation/stop-casting/m-p/595825#M44616 <P>I have an automation which turns on the radio for an hour, but at the end it pauses the radio, but does not stop casting.

That said, I have found that the Script Editor does have a stop media option that seems to work reliably. The relevant code looks like this:</P><LI-CODE lang="markup"> actions: - type: device.command.MediaStop devices: Upstairs kitchen speaker - Kitchen</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 13 Feb 2024 20:28:56 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Home-Automation/stop-casting/m-p/595987#M44636 salbando 2024-02-13T20:28:56Z
