Intro
I'm making a digital signage at my company where we have a local pc running, casting specific web browser pages to two different chromecasts in the building. Everything runs smoothly and it works as intended - the television is showing the webpage and it is all good.
My problem is this
Every morning the cast from the webpage to the chromecasts have stopped, and are running in screensaver mode instead of displaying the webpages that i've casted.
What I need
I need to know how to keep the webpages keep on getting casts so i myself do not need to 'recast' the webpages to the chromecasts. Is there a way to automatically recast webpages? Is there a way to make the webpages not stop being cast? Can I create a schedular (saw something like Chrome Sign Builder, but it is out of date)
Some extra info on the setup
The chromecasts are connected to their own power supply, so that they may keep running. The televisions have a on/off timer set from 07.00 AM to 16.00 PM - I wondered if the problem were due to the television shutting off, but when I turn off the television for 30 minutes and turn it back on, the cast is still live and works as intended. The PC (which casts the webpages from the Chrome Browser) are set to 'always on'.
If you need more information - please let me know! I hope you may be able to help me 🙂

Hey there Kroon,
I apologize for the late response, and thank you for being patient! Currently, there isn't a way to have a device automatically cast, aside from maybe creating a script to have a computer manually cast, but there isn't an official way to do so. This is a pretty good idea though, so if you don't mind, would you be able to submit feedback via the Google Home app? The more feedback Google receives regarding a specific feature, the more likely they are to prioritize it.
I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll go ahead and lock this thread in 24 hours.
Best regards,
Jeran
