Spotify Integration?

Hello Wolle

Can you imagine integrating Spotify?

Wath do you think about that ?

Best regards

Hello Arne,
As I see it, the Spotify app must be installed somewhere in the home network.
I don't think you can access Spotify directly because of the encryption and the subscription

Hello Wolle,

I think Spotify doesn't have to run as an app on the home network. The whole thing works via a web API. I have that in my io broker and it works wonderfully. I'll test it when I get the chance with the example https://github.com/FinianLandes/SpotifyEsp32. There's a library SpotifyEsp32.h and I'll look into it. For me personally, connectivity would be more important than a flickering mouse cinema (VU meter). This isn't meant as criticism, I'm just not that into it. But everyone can see it however they want. :)

To integrate weather data, you would also have to use an API to obtain geographically correct data.

Thank you very much for your quick answer.

I have no idea about Spotify, but I can imagine that the web API must be installed somewhere. Spotify will not allow direct access from the ESP32.

You are of course absolutely right that Spotify has to be available on a device in order to retrieve the necessary information with the ESP and then control the player. I will first try to connect to Spotify with an ESP.
This also works with the io-broker. Here I have a Java script. The player is then controlled via a virtualized interface or via an installed NS panel, which I flashed with lovlesui

then it looks like this
