Get the device RSA public_key from the JSON available via TSL 1.2 HTTPS to port 8443 at /setup/get_eureka_info. I don't want to copy-paste a whole script in here, since I don't think that's what StackExchange is for, but the important steps are: 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. (Haven't seen a single bug in the beta of my Chromecasts, only one: I get my features earlier than others ) ) I highly suggest just creating another account for the Cast thing, since if you get to beta with that, it is totally worth it. Open an Ignoto tab and do the steps for "3rd Way" (the computer version) On Google Cast select "Allow in ignoto" Go to Chrome Settings (click here for fast link) Note: It sometimes steals your logged in to Chrome Google account. Set up your Chromecast and you are good to go!. #Chromecast change wifi from mac os x install
Install the non-beta (the one with no other text) Google Cast as an extension from the web store.

(Chromecast functionality will still work and devices will update themselves, to latest non-beta (even if you are in it) automatically) Google Home (and other Google apps) have a tendency to be annoying with prompting auto updates, so I suggest, that after setting up everything with your cast devices, uninstall the app.Get the latest version, what doesn't those permissions from here.Go to Play Store, find Google Homepage -> 3 dots in the top right corner -> Disable Auto Updates.Well, the easiest would be to just not give location & make another google account.
