    const [castConnected, setCastConnected] = useState(chromecast.connected)

    useEffect(() => {

        chromecast.on('available', () => {
            console.log('change', chromecast.available)
            setCastAvailable(chromecast.available)
        })

        chromecast.on('connect', () => {
            setCastConnected(chromecast.connected)
        })

        // remove event-listeners when component is unmounted
        return function cleanup(){
            chromecast.off()
        }
    }, [])

    return (
      {castAvailable
      ?
      <div>
        <CastButton onClick={cast}/>
        {castConnected
        ?
