The spotify media player platform allows you to control Spotify playback from Home Assistant.
{% linkable_title Prerequisites %}
- Spotify Premium account.
- Spotify Application, properly configured.
To create the required Spotify Application, login to Spotify Developer, visit the My Applications page, and select Create An App. Enter any name and description. Once your application is created, you can view it and discover your Client ID and Client Secret, which are placed in the Home Assistant configuration file. Finally, add a Redirect URI in the following form:
http://<your_home_assistant_url_or_local_ip>/api/spotify
Remember to select Save after adding the URI.
{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To add Spotify to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: spotify
client_id: <your client id>
client_secret: <your client secret>
Configuration variables:
- client_id (Required): Client ID from your Spotify Application.
- client_secret (Required): Client Secret from your Spotify Application.
- cache_path (Optional): Path to cache authentication token (defaults to configuration directory).
{% linkable_title Setup %}
After the prerequisites and configuration are complete, restart Home Assistant. A Spotify configurator element will be available. Follow the instructions to authorize Home Assistant to access your Spotify account. A Spotify media player will then appear.
