This automation works good, it let me set an alarm clock that light up my lights, but there is no way to tell google home mini to start a spotify playlist.
can you help me telling google home to start spotify playlist?

thanks

I simplify the question.
Is there a way to play a spotify free playlist on google home using HA automation?

I tryed everything and there is no way to do it.

Antons solved this? Feels like the major problem is setting the mini to state: on. Have tried several solutions the last couple of days without any progress…
