The problem is Chromecast requires the phone to have a Chromecast SDK using app on it anyway. Additionally you couldn't communicate without having a wifi connection, at least without proxying over the internet which is slow.
The closest thing to this would be to have the NFC auto open a webpage that is already paired to the app on the screen so that you can then use the custom web page's UI to send control messages to the TV via internet relaying.
- acgourley 11y agoWhat if the chromecast was allowed to transfer wifi network details (either for a secure or unsecure) network over NFC for the phone to temporarily connect to? That's a cool feature even if you don't plan to use the chromecast.
- evook 11y agoI'd throw away my chromecasts immediately. It's hard enough to maintain filter rules to not let this little guy phone home too much.
