How to use the script

There are 5 fields which can be set while running the script. Description of fields:

Field Required Description
target No The targets which should be stored or resumed, default is all entities of the Cast integration (including Chromecast, Google TV devices, etc)
resume No false to store data true to resume (default is false, so data storage)
resume_id No A identifier to match the resume action with (default is not provided). This will allow to store multiple events. Data with the same resume_id will be overwritten when storing the data, and after resuming it will be removed.
ignore No Entities/devices and/or areas which should not be resumed
also_stop No Entities/devices/areas for which media_player entities should also be stopped on data store
resume_volume No Volume to be used when resuming the speakers, needs to be provided when storing the data. (default is current volume of speaker). This can be helpful if you tend to set high volumes while getting ready for work and don't want to be greeted by blasting music when resuming the speakers in the middle of the night. ;-)
remove_data No Set to true to remove all data from the binary_sensor and file (default is false)

Example for data storage of devices in the living room when leaving the home, and resume when arriving back home

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: group.family
    from: home
    id: leaving
  - platform: state
    entity_id: group.family
    from: home
    id: arriving
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions: "{{ trigger.id == 'leaving' }}"
        sequence:
          - action: script.google_home_event
            data:
              target:
                area_id: 'living_room'
              resume: false
              resume_id: resume_when_home
      - conditions: "{{ trigger.id == 'arriving' }}"
        sequence:
          - action: script.google_home_event
            data:
              target:
                area_id: 'living_room'
              reject_list:
                - media_player.tv
              resume: true
              resume_id: resume_when_home

The script can also be started from the GUI, both in YAML mode and full GUI mode.
