Congratulations on the add-on, how do I install on homeassistant? many people do not use hassio.
You cannot install this add-on in that case. Add-ons are a Hassio only feature.
Are you able to make Xonar u7 work? I’ve connected via USB and selected output as Xonar by there is no sound

HI, just to clarify, is it possible to use Hass.io Scripts to start to playback a spotify playlist with this, or do i need to use the spotify app on the phone manually?
There is a Spotify component in Home Assistant available.
Hello @frenck
Another wonderful Addon! what a streak!
I just wanted to ask if it would be possible, as someone asked before, to stream the sound to another device, like Sonos or Google cast or google home (obviously not supported right now…)
Thanks a lot for this hard work!

That is not how Spotify Connect works, so: nope.
Sorry for that. The question was more in the line of “is it doable somehow?”
Don’t be sorry, that is a perfectly valid question.
Doable, sure if you are running Hassio on a Generic Linux machine (e.g., Ubuntu) I guess you could create some kind of virtual audio device that actually sends it out. (But that is just tinkering, and not actually tried by myself).
The Google Home is already a Spotify Connect enabled device btw, so you don’t need anything special for that.
Sure it is, but Sonos´sound quality is superior by far.
I hope integration with GA comes soon, otherwise I´m looking into Volumio and a new sound setting.
Maybe you missed my point, Google Home already support Spotify Connect, since it is actually a Spotify client itself. Adds Spotify to your Google Home, and it will popup just like this add-on does.
If you use librespot, the actual library I imagine @frenck is using, you can output to a named pipe. Then you find a tool that accepts a named pipe as input and can cast to Sonos.
I use forked-daapd to do this with Airplay, for example.
Sounds promising, but I don´t know squat about programming. I was looking into consumer level stuff, thanks!

Is it possible to use this addon with multiple spotify-users?
So that the device pops up in my account and in the account of my wife? (linked in one family-account of spotify)
That is not yet possible, nevertheless, it is under development at the upstream project.
Hey Frenck, thanks for the great add on. Just wondering if this can output to a chromecast audio device? My goal is to use Alexa to stream audio to my speakers which are connected with the Chromecast Audio. Please let me know if this is possible already?
Do you know of any other solution I can achieve this then, mate?
