"Dat zou ons ook erg blij maken! Helaas is spotify connect standaard relatief gelimiteerd, waardoor het erg lastig is om werkend te krijgen in combinatie met bijv. spraak commando's direct aan Homey (connect is namelijk eigenljk bedoeld voor speakers die geen eigen interface hebben). hierdoor is het een en ander lastiger. We zijn met Spotify in contact, en we werken zeker aan oplossingen achter de schermen, maar het blijft lastig. Gelukkig zijn er ook andere opties nog, maar we proberen natuurlijk in eerste instantie de mooiste (=Connect)."
@Stefan: I would be more that happy to have a regular Connect feature in Homey, doesn't have to be speech controlled at this point. The option to control Homey by the Homey or Spotify mobile app (or from a flow) would be a very nice point to start imo. (yes I could buy a chromecast audio or other 'connect' dongle but I'd rather save that money to buy nice domotica stuff
Wouldn't this make the Connect implementation much easier?
(and from that point onwards gradually develop into more advanced stage)
Me and my wife only use playlists, so if Homey would support;
- start playlist from app
- "OK Homey, start playlist 'sexy time'"
That would cover 99% of our Spotify usage.Basically, we want to keep everything in sync. But we're all using Spotify ourselves to you bet we're working on it!
Else im buying a new receiver with spotify connect function. At least for now.
Therefore, I think that Homey should run a Spotify Connect Server, which accepts commands from any device. In addition, there should then be a Homey client app that implements the speech recognition and ad-hoc searching options.
This way it should be much easier to maintain as well, as there is a separate Player/connect and Library/Search app.
Can't seem to find the Spotify app in the app store however (search function doesn't seem to work either by the way). Am I missing something or is it just not there (yet)?

He is able to query spotify and do something with the data
Where is Homey? http://www.spotifygear.com
Any other updates on this?
(not that spotify is a dealbreaker in anyway for me even if I only use spotify connect, ZigBee is way higher in MY priority list
but i am very positive that a lot of people don't have spotify, or going to take spotify.
there are coming more and more options in the streaming business.
people will shift over if they find that spotify is keeping it as closed/protected as it is trying to be now
It's not athom that chooses this way though,
it is spotify self that is blocking athom to use spotify as other music players ARE doing (looking at Google/other open source products that Hacked their way in),
they even have an API to do this.
but that athom's homey is "opensource" and app based, makes spotify scared that people are going to steal music from spotify... with homey.
i have seen athom talking about spotify connect this evening, but that it will be for a Later date.
We really need Spotify Connect to work with Homey (in combination with Chromecast!).
They changed their web api that makes it possible
So no need to spam spotify anymore :P
Now I see all my playlists loaded in Homey's interface. However: after clicking the play button, i get the following message, see screenshot 2 and 3.
Anyone got a clue on how to play my playlists?
