Hi all,
I have been working on a small control panel to easily select the music you would like.
Basically, the interface has two modes:
-
When no music is playing, a block gives the opportunity to select which music app you want to use (in my case, Plex, Web Radio, or Spotify) with for each a list of favorite playlists/Channels and on which room (Chromecast Speaker Groups).
-
When music is playing, a simple view of what’s playing, the opportunity to change sound level, stop or mute.
In this one, I had to “reproduce” a basic media player as custom button because media player cannot be dynamic. As I am neither an artist, nor a CSS pro, that “player” has visual room for improvement.
The challenge (fun) was to simply combine many options in an easy interface.
The add-ons/integration used in this project are:
- Custom button cards in the interface
- Spocast to launch spotify music on sleeping Google Home speakers
- The Plex Integration for local media
- The URL’s of web radio come from this site, but Google can help if you are looking for different ones
The full code has been centralized in one package:

As you can see I have created some simple templates and scripts, to keep the conditional part in the lovelace interface reasonable. (see first reply for lovelace code)
Anyway, it’s there to inspire anyone who would like to make something similar.
Comments, suggestions for improvement, feedback welcome.
