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

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
