Alexa: Chromecast - is a connection of the devices possible?

With Chromecast you have the possibility to stream content from other devices, such as your smartphone or PC, to the TV. If you would like to control Chromecast from Google using Amazon's Alexa voice assistant, then this is currently not possible.

Is a connection between Chromecast and Alexa possible?

Chromecast is a streaming stick from Amazon that allows you to stream content from your smartphone or PC to your TV. Google's Alexa voice assistant, on the other hand, is used to perform actions via voice command and helps you shop in online stores or play music. If you would like to connect the two systems with each other, then this is not possible.

1. Amazon and Google are major competitors in the field of voice assistants and smart speakers.
2. A connection between the two systems is therefore currently not possible. Also in the future, compatibility is not expected.
3. Some users, however, have already developed a way to connect the two devices independently of the official way.
4. However, this way is very cumbersome, in addition, you need a developer account with Amazon and programming skills. In addition, you need a Raspberry Pi to establish the connection between Chromecast and the voice assistant.
5. If you would like to go this route, you can find a complete guide on Github. This also describes everything you need for this process.
