Description of problem: Starting with 0.86.3 I started experiencing errors in GUI related to Chromecast unavailability. When I switch off my TV, which powers Chromecast over USB I’m getting the following error:
I saw others reporting the same error for other types of media_player. A suggestion was made to use the Entity filter card, but I think this is a workaround not a proper solution. Before 0.86.3 an unavailable Chromecast had its status as Unavailable. Now it disappears from entities list and as a result the user sees the above error.
