Google Home essentially sleeps or turns off Spotify after a while. There is no way via the Spotify to play on as device which isn’t running Spotify. So you need to send a command to google home to turn on Spotify first.
I don’t know if google has an api that lets you do that. The alternative is trying to send keep alive commands over the Spotify api, so google doesn’t kill Spotify.

I use an Alexa dot to play spotify on. However, I have noticed that the spotify_current_device_id for the alexa dot changes over time - resulting in that I have to change the id in the code in order for spotify to work. Is there some way to automatically read the spotify_current_device_id into a variable and replace the id number with the variable .
spotify_current_device_id.sendCommand(id_Alexa_Dot)
Thank you, Spotify integration is great.
I can get Spotify working correctly but I cannot seem to get a device list below is the response I get when I run the Spotify.py file it doesn’t seem to get the list of devices.

hi!
3 days ago the item spotify_current_progress_percent stopped working.
did spotify change anything?
my item is at 0.0 although spotify is playing.
cover, track and the other values are displayed correctly … i did not make any changes on the script …
another question: is it possible to tell spotify on which device to play or is this item only for displaying the current playing device?
Thanks!
In my branch I’ve got it working based on names. It’s kind of fuzzy so you don’t even have to be super accurate. It would be something like spotify.py play livingroon echo Since the name of the device doesn’t change it would use that to lookup the id and then play that. I designed it that way so I could use voice commands to change device.
Hi all, which persistent service do i need to have running to be able to keep the api key and secret current, currently have mqtt & rrd.
thanks
Hi,
It works great.
Now I can see the actual device, such as myphone or web player.
But how can I set my RPi as device?
Thx in advance.
I was struggling with this error as well - this worked for me as well!!!
Hi,
- I made a sketch about my idea.
I can not set any device, because I get this:
/usr/bin/python /etc/openhab2/scripts/spotify.py get_devices

I would like to set my speaker (with RPi) as a device.
- And the “next” parameter produces this:

Good day.
Can this integration allow playback of music not in OpenHAB machine itself, but in other output device like Yamaha AVR?
It can Pavel, there is a ‘devices’ option that will allow you to select Spotify connect devices on your LAN - such as the Spotify connect option on the Yamaha AVR or even use Airplay is how I understand it
See the ‘device’ on patricks dashboard.
See this links on ‘devices’ - https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/guides/using-connect-web-api/
The Yamaha will turn up under devices as both an Airplay device or a Spotify connect device once the AVR is setup in OH2 (with the Yamaha binding id imagine?)
I got some problems …
I set it up and get a positive authentication feedback.
Persistence is working as well.
when i run the python cript in the terminal everythign works but i created a rule to call it every second (for testing now) and i get errors (every second 
so the rule fires):
