I found a way to run UI3 fullscreen live cams or index on Chromecast from the Windows command line/batch files.
Sessions can therefore be auto-triggered remotely from a BI alert or even a voice command agent like TriggerCMD.
I'm using a github project called CATT (Cast All The Things) which installs on Python 3.
CATT commands can cast almost anything local or online directly to Chromecast, and the BI webserver can be set to require no authentication on LAN-only.
For example,a bat file with catt cast_site "http://192.168.1.103/ui3.htm?tab=live&cam=Door&maximize=1" will display my doorbell live on full screen and I can run it by saying "Hey Google..." to my android phone.
FWIW -- I also got the BI Android app's native Chromecast support to work a while back.
That took some doing.
I wrote a detailed tutorial on a BI Android thread here.
