There is a list of platforms that can use speaker grouping.
Supported platforms
I can’t see google home there.
Ok, I read that too, but wasn’t sure since I was able to get the speakers grouped AND working, just not selectable.
I appreciate the reply, seems that everything is working EXACTLY as designed.
I just have a bunch of different speaker groups set up in Google and then select the group within HA (from an input_select) depending on where I want music
I just found new love for this card, thank you Karl!
Using a mix of different hide options, grouping, conditionals and custom:stack-in-card I have a super tidy card that only shows which speakers are in use and gives me volume control in each area. I had this for a while but it wasn’t as compact until now. Loving it

Thank you!
Below is example from the github page, where to find the id for the Spotify playlist?
Does it have to be a playlist? Can it be just a specific song(and how to find the id)?
- entity: media_player.spotify
type: custom:mini-media-player
artwork: cover
source: icon
hide:
volume: true
shortcuts:
columns: 4 # Max buttons per row
buttons:
# Start predefined playlist
- icon: mdi:cat
type: playlist
id: spotify:user:spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DZ06evO2O09Hg

hi is it possible for a button triggering a service (input boolean toggle) to show the state of the boolean on the button ?
From the Spotify desktop app: Right click a track, playlist, album e.t.c. go to Share and press Copy Spotify URI.
Not sure if it matters but for an album set type to album, and for a single track set it to music or track I think.

thanks got it working in a button card but was wondering if i could do it all in one card
Thanks. I got the uri which is below format
spotify:playlist:xxxxxx
I also tried add spotify:user: to the front, either one is working for me.
Does this require spotify premium? which I don’t have.
Recently I got an email from spotify saying free account can also link to Alexa.
I believe it requires premium yes, see the note here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/spotify/
This is an amazing piece of code! Family has been using it on the regular with our Sonos system.
I tried to get fancy and used auto-entity card to show playing zones.
card:
show_header_toggle: false
title: Music Playing
type: entities
filter:
exclude:
- state: paused
- state: idle
- state: unavailable
include:
- domain: media_player
show_empty: false
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
but I added one player, my office, in the exclude section
- entity_id: media_player.myoffice
Though it worked perfectly in not showing my playing zone, every 2-5 minutes the zone would pause all on it’s own. The log simply showed that the zone was paused, but no user associated with the pause, nor was there any automations or events or scenes that even referenced this player.
I went and deleted the exclude and I haven’t had a pause in 45 minutes.
This is probably not a mini media player issue, more likely an auto-entity card problem, but figured I’d post this in case someone else has the same issue.

thanks. so for this to work, need premium, and also that spotify integration, right?
Oh, I thought you were using the Spotify integration, what media player are you trying to do this on?
The Spotify integration is the only media player integration that I’m aware of which supports Spotify URIs through the play_media service.
I am trying to play spotify songs on my echo dot which is integrated using Echo Devices (Alexa) as Media Player - Testers Needed.
Hello I am a new user of Home Assistant and was just wondering if this was possible…
It probably is and is easy to set up but i’m struggling to find a solution that works for me.
I have set up the spotify integration, as well as the yamaha integration.
So I have two media players … media_player.yamaha_receiver and media_player.spotify_
How do I get spotify to play on the yamaha receiver?? (The Yamaha Receiver has spotify connect built-in)
I’ve managed to get spotify to play on the current device showing home assistant UI, but not on the Yamaha. I’m sure this is really easy i just cant get round the YAML needed to achieve this… 
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
