Music Free Card

Hi!

Recently i created a card to control Spotify Free, and some of you ask me if it could control Youtube Music also, so i evolved it to “Music Free Card”. It allows you play, pause, skip songs (as long as it is allowed), control volume and launch playlist. Currently it suppports Spotify and Youtube Music, but it potentially can control any streaming music app.

Music+Free+Card+(video)

You DON’T need:

  • Premium accounts
  • Any integration on Home Assistant
  • To create APIs anywhere

You NEED

  • An Android device to play music (it can be your phone, your wall panel, an old device…)

You CAN

  • Play, pause, skip songs, launch playlists, control volume, switch between Spotify and Youtube Music, …
  • Sync music playback with other devices (speakers, lights, etc), to switch on and off when it starts/ends.
  • Control music playback through HA panel, an Ikea Symfonisk remote, your voice assistant…

Easy to install

It just needs 3 simple steps, which you can find here. Almost everything is done by importing the blueprint, so it is pretty easy to install it.

Wish list
Let me know if something is not working properly, what can be done in a better way, or what other features would you add. Any suggestion is welcome :slight_smile:

Hi! Works well, thanks!
There is one problem that could not be solved. If the phone with the screen off, the music does not turn on. And only when unlocked, Spotify starts. Both applications in the settings are configured to turn off power saving.
How can I make the music turn on regardless of whether there is a screen lock?

If you dont have a lock pin or any other security, you can wake Up the phone with command notifications

It worked! Thanks) One more question if possible. Sometimes the phone with music on it does not automatically connect to Bluetooth speakers. How can I connect it to the desired Bluetooth speaker with commands?

I have not researched into that, since i have them as favorite so they connected always.

However, you can try with android intents

Or tasker
