![]() ![]() If you're a big fan of the curl | bash school of system administration, you can: wget ĬHROMECAST_IP=192.168.0.100 WIFI_SSID="foobar" WIFI_PASSWORD="hackme". To use it, you need to get your computer on the same network as the Chromecast somehow, either with an Ethernet adapter for the Chromecast (which I tested) or by somehow finding and joining its setup hotspot (which I have not tested). All you need is a Linux or (probably) Mac environment, or (probably) WSL on Windows. So, I put together a Bash script, which I've published at, which can do the Chromecast initial setup and connect it to WiFi without Google Home or an Android or iOS device. There was also some useful information at about how you need to encrypt the WiFi password with a public key from the device before submitting it. However, I did find some documentation of the Chromecast's API at, and I noted that if you're doing initial setup, none of it needs any authentication. I had no luck with answer, because I could only find Linux builds of Chromium, not Chrome, and Chromium seems to never have implemented chrome://cast. ![]()
