Ah, right. I totally forgot I redownloaded spotcast to revert some other changes.
I did just perform a successful resume. Will do some more tests tomorrow
I did apply the changes now. Just did a test and resume worked.
Will do some more tests tomorrow (only tested on Google Home and only the primary account)
I see - now you have the same custom comp spotcast py files as I have…
What redirect URL do you use in Spotify Dev App?
In my case it is “https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth”
I use the same:
https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth
Unfortunately, didn’t work for me either.
got three errors:

And the names of your devices in Home Assistant are exactly the same as in the Google Home app?
I just did a test with the non-primary account, which also worked fine. I’m a bit out of options here on why it works for me and not for you guys, I would suggest to maybe try the spotcast topic here on the HA community, or create an issue on the spotcast github.
The names are exactly the same.
OK, I will ask for help in spotcast topic.
Yes, the names are the same too. Hopefully, something transpires from the Spotcast topic.
from what I can tell, it seems that the custom integration cannot find your device that you have configured.
Well, as far as I understand it correctly it’s a bit like this:
- Spotify assigns a device ID to each device on which it is used, eg a phone, or a Google Home device
- Spotify also connects the name of the device, for Google Home devices this is the name as configured in the Google Home app. This will also be the name which is shown as source it the Spotify integration
- When spotcast is used with an entity_id as target, it uses the (friendly) name of the entity, and uses the Spotify api to find the Spotify device id belonging to this name, so that’s why the names of the entities need to match the names as configured in the Google Home app.
- Spotify seems to remove the stored devices rather quickly, but for resuming after a TTS message this should not be an issue.
But that’s about where my knowledge about how spotcast works stops 
As the name is also shown as the source of the media_player of Spotify integration, I also use it to match the right Spotify media_player to the entity_id which is interrupted (in case multiple Spotify accounts are integrated)
Gotta say that this for the most part has worked flawlessly for me, thank you for all your efforts! I do have one question though… Basically I’m seeing that my TTS announcements are not matching the volume set in the scripts. Upon troubleshooting, I see the volume does get changed (to 20%), but then it immediately shoots back up to the previous volume before actually saying the announcement. This results in sound overlap from Google Homes in other rooms. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you rely on the automation to start the resume script, you need to use the announce_volume_automation setting. That is one generic setting which will be used for all announcements.
If you want to use different volume levels for different announcement, you need to call the resume script directly, and add the volume level there.
Thank you kindly for pointing me in the right direction. Turns out I just needed to remove the announce_volume_automation setting and add the resume script to my NodeRed flow. All is working great now!

Hey everyone, first off thanks to @TheFes for building this library, this looks exactly what I’ve been looking for for a while now. I’ve been trying to get this to work on my own now for a couple weeks, but have finally capitulated and created an account to ask for help on this forum.
I’m trying to do something fairly simple (I think) which is that when the mic from my work laptop goes to active I stop the music from my google home in my office. Then once the call is over I’d like to continue listening to the radio.
Pasting the automation below. It stops both tunein as well as spotify and I can see in the traces that it logs the information what had been playing at that time in the helpler script, but it simply never resumes. 20 secs after I hang up the script simply terminates, but doesn’t trigger the play media action. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Automation:
alias: "Arbeitszimmer: Musik Pause wenn Teams call"
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.microphoneactive
from: "off"
to: "on"
condition:
- condition: state
state: playing
entity_id: media_player.googlehome2011
action:
- service: script.google_home_resume
data:
action:
- service: media_player.media_play
data: {}
target:
entity_id: media_player.googlehome2011
mode: single
Sequence from logbook:
The script relies on actions performed on the Google Home, and you are not playing anything on it.
However, this is a good case for the Event script, which is also included in the package.
Let it store the data when the mic goes on, and resume when the mic goes off.
wow, thanks so much for the fast response! very much appreciated. also thanks for the pointer. I have now tried to set this up exactly the way you have laid it out in the docs with the leaving and coming home example. Unfortunately this neither paused the radio, nor resumed it (after pausing manually to test).
Would very much appreciate if you could add some more advice.

I would remove the condition you added that the player should be playing. If it’s not, it will not be resumed as it was not playing.
Besides that I will need traces of the event script and resume script to see what’s going wrong here
Thanks for your support!
There is no trace from resume script. Event script trace uploaded here: { "trace": { "last_step": "sequence/2/choose/2/sequence/3", "run_id - Pastebin.com
Thanks!
Hmm, something is not going right here. Let me check if it works for myself…
2023.1 Best wishes for 2023!
Only a small update with some bugfixes right now
