Play Spotify Daily Mixes

Anybody has had some success with getting the spotty media player to play some special playlists? I want the Daily Mixes…

  spotifyconnect:
    alias: "Daily Mix 1"
    sequence:
      - service: media_player.play_media
        data:
           entity_id: media_player.spotify
           source: "raspotify (automator)"
           media_content_type: "playlist"
           media_content_id: "spotify:station:user:<USERNAME>:cluster:6RAx8RRxoHeJIqD2d0EjOa"

This is my script where I try to call the playlist.

The url generated by spotify is: https://open.spotify.com/station/user/<USERNAME>/cluster/6RAx8RRxoHeJIqD2d0EjOa
so the URI should be correct.

However the spotify component says

Pushing this thread, because I was going to look for a solution too. Anybody knows if it is possible to access the Daily Mixes? They are kind of special inside Spotify because of their dynamic and endless nature. I can’t even get the Spotify URL like OP did.

giving this a push since I’ve been looking for a solution too…
