Bluetooth audio via dongle to play spotify music on BT speaker

Hi,

What I would like to do is using a door sensor between specific times (ie. between 7:00 and 8:00, zigbee sensor is already working in HA) to power up my Edifier D12 via a smart powerplug (zigbee and already in HA connected) and have my HA start a spotify playlist to cast via bluetooth so that I can have relaxing music while I make breakfast and enjoy my first cup of coffee. I use HA os on a HP T620 with an ASUS_USB-BT500 dongle, this should be capable of doing the job (distance between the T620 and speaker is roughly 5 meters).

So what I would like to request is a BT intergration capable of transmitting audio from spotify to a dumb BT speaker.

Ps. HA is already starting my coffee machine so that I can enjoy that nice and early, and for that fact alone I am gratefull already!

I think you can use the VLC addon to do this.

The main problem I run into is that the bluetooth is not able to transmit the audio.
