Spotify Play Thru Echo Dot

Hello all. Its my first post since starting to work on my Home Assistant settings for about 2 weeks now. I hope I am in the right location for this post.

I have Alexa integration setup with no issues. All my devices show up. I also setup the Spotify integration which is just a free plan, so maybe that is the issue I am about to ask for help for. Both devices show on my overview with no problems.

So to try to test I setup just a script, in the scripts area, and not in the script file or config file. This is the script code I setup:

sequence:
   - service: media_player.play_media
     data:
     entity_id: media_player.spotify_jace
         media_content_id: 'http://open.spotify.com/playlist/3E1cQ6oD3wk7c2hcwhOChK'
         media_content_type: playlist
mode: single

This was folIowed by going to the spotify / HA site. Of course I can see there is no mention of an echo media player so it wont play. Also tried replacing the entity ID with the echo dot. When I execute to script nothing happens or plays within the spotify or echo devices. SO I am hoping for some help please.

Im lost and just need a lot of help with the code to get the spotify playlist to play to my echo.

I think this is because an echo dot is not an always-on spotify device.

https://github.com/fondberg/spotcast Might help you but i think this is for chromecast-enabled devices only.
I dont have any experience with echoes but it’s just my 2 cents.
