The correct command to get the status of the device is GET_STATUS (line 380 of the castv2-sender.js) not GET_CAST_STATUS as described in the documentation

Both are valid. GET_CAST_STATUS gets the CAST DEVICE status (Always available) while GET_STATUS gets the current active media status. If nothing is currently playing, or the current running app doesn't support a "status" report, GET_STATUS won't do anything.
You aren't the first to be confused by this, and I've kicked the idea of renaming these, but I haven't wanted to break anyone using the existing API yet. In a perfect world, I would have used "GET_STATUS" for the device status, and then something like "GET_APP_STATUS" for the other one.
