Stopping Chromecast playback via a program

I'd really like my nighttime program to be able to stop Chromecast playback (specifically, stop the music playing on a particular Chromecast Audio).

I've read about using Polyglot but this seems like adding a lot of complexity to my setup to get one feature.

Is there no other way to accomplish this?  I'm about to just put the Chromeast on a power switch and have my isy simply turn it off (and turn it back on in the morning).

Polyglot isn't complex at all except for setting it up on a raspberry pi.

Using Polyglot exposes your devices as if they were native devices. @simplextech mentioned developing an image that could automatically do this if you reach out to him. I'm sure he needs testers. 

A plug-in module works for simplicity. However a little extra work gives so many new possibilities.
