You’re looking at it the wrong way. It can depend on HassOS.
By making/finding some sort of middleware to pipe the spotify audio output of a single HassOS host/hypervisor, to multiple speakers connected to the HassOS host/hypervisor, either by being directly exposed to the OS, or by connecting them via WiFi middleware, such as the SlimProto Player integration.
That way we can have audio playing on multiple speakers, and chose on which ones to play, at which time - In Hass.
And again, after the addon worked again for some months, all of a sudden I have the same issue again. All seems to work fine (spotify client connects to spotifyconnect addon, addon log shows correct entries when playing audio), but there is no audio send ouot of the Hass Blue audio jack…
It’s not hardware related, as the squeezebox addon works just fine.
Hi, I am new to the community, I have a problem with the add-on, I try to use home assistant to play the music I send through spotify, however, nothing. I use my sound system through a wired network connection, but nothing. I can play other files that are present on the server, however, sending the server to serve the sound through it does not work. what could be the fault?
Hi there. I installed the Spotify integration and Spotify Connect add-on and added the integration to a dashboard. I can play songs or playlists, as you can see in the screenshot below, but I don’t get any audio out of my PC’s speakers. I have in this case Home Assistant on an Intel NUC and both via a web browser or the HA app on my phone, there is no sound.
Hi there!
I would like to start an automation when spotify starts playing, to then start up my avr per IR with my harmony hub. Is this somehow possible with the addon?
Is there a way to use this without premium?
I can select Home Assistant as player and it is saying it is playing both on mobile as on HA (seen via the log), however no sound? Where can I look to get this fixed?
Add-on version: 0.12.6
You are running the latest version of this add-on.
System: Home Assistant OS 11.2 (aarch64 / odroid-n2)
Home Assistant Core: 2023.12.0
Home Assistant Supervisor: 2023.11.6
Boa noite
Infelizmente não funciona.
O Spotfy do celular se conecta ao home assistant, no log é possível ver que quando dou play na música o addon recebe isso porém não reproduz o som.
Either Home Assistant OS 11.2 (aarch64 / odroid-n2) or Home Assistant Core: 2023.12.0 broke/removed the support for the analog 3.5mm output jack. I created an issue here 11.2 broke Audio out via 3,5 jack on Hass Blue (Odroid n2+) · Issue #3010 · home-assistant/operating-system · GitHub
And post here
3.5mm analog output jack doesn't work anymore since 11.2
I hope this get fixed soon and the analog output becomes a regression test item for every release so we don’t run into this again…
Supervisor 2023.12.1 fixed this for me.
Is there a way to control volume in a different way then through Spotify client? The volume of this addon is way lower than the squeezelite addon, even with volume in Spotify client turned to max.
My issue was closed & locked on the github 
Volume very low · Issue #246 · hassio-addons/addon-spotify-connect · GitHub
Hi!
Im hoping that someone can help me understand some things with this add-on.
So, i installed this add-on and it works perfectly! However, i was hoping to have a media_player entity created with this, and that did not happen.
To rectify this, i used the VLC add-on which made my pi as a media_player - great! Called this “backyard speakers”.
I then installed MASS to play music/radio to this new entity from HA (not only spotify).
HOWEVER, if i am playing music from the spotify app to my spotify connect add-on, I have no way to stop the playback from HA.
ADDITIONALLY, if i choose to play something now from MASS to my “backyard speakers” media_player entity from HA, it plays OVERTOP of the spotify that is playing, as in, at the same time…
I guess i should have expected this as its two separate services with no relationship to one another, but i was still surprised.
Can somone smarter than me please help me unify things here so i can:
Thank you so much in advance!
I wanted to install this addon from HACS, but I cannot find it, also the link provided on github us not working for me.
Are the any updated installation instructions for 2024.8?
I think the repo was moved at some point from it’s original location.
Is this what you are looking for?
Home Assistant Community Add-on: Spotify Connect
Hope it helps!
Yes, this is exactly the github repo I am referring to. The link provided there does not work, also manully searching in HACS does not show any results for Spotify Connect.
What am I doing wrong?
@petwri
Your link looks OK to me.
You could also try this one:
http://homeassistant:8123/hassio/addon/a0d7b954_spotify/info
You could also just go to your HA \ Settings \ Addons \ Store and search for Spotify Connect.
Here’s another document with the install config parameters that might help:
https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-spotify-connect/blob/a1f0d43a60172cb7f5df569742977d5838e70bc5/spotify/DOCS.md
It only took me 10 times reading the instructions to finally realize it: we’re talking addons here, not integrations. My home-assistant is not running HAOS, but in a Docker container, so no Add-on store.
Are there any installation instructions for running this addon in a docker and manually installing it?
Not for sure on that. You will probably need to reach out to the add on author for that one.
My add-on is crashing…

so I was thinking my spotify username and pass are not correct ? But they are…
@Faecon
Ya, unfortunately librespot is still having issues due to some changes that Spotify made to their API. I’m not sure where they are at on figuring it out, but you can check this link for librespot and this link for SpotifyConnect addon for more details.
so at the moment it is not possible to play a spotify playlist ? I wan to play some playlists on my sonosses.
It’s no disaster, but would be nice…
