hi im on the latest hassio 0.63.3 do i have to add that?
how can you put the images of the playlists?
same for me it ignors my sonos and just plays it on my echo dot
I’ve gotten everything to work but the volume. I originally tried:
volume_level: ‘{{ states.input_slider.spotify_volume.state }}’
But I got this error:
Invalid service data for media_player.volume_set: expected float for dictionary value @ data['volume_level']. Got "'{{ states.input_slider.spotify_volume.state }}"it appears you may have used data: instead of data_template:
Testing configuration at /config
ERROR:homeassistant.loader:Unable to find component input_slider
ERROR:homeassistant.setup:Setup failed for input_slider: Component not found.
Failed config
General Errors:
- Component not found: input_slider
- Setup failed for input_slider: Component not found.
- Setup failed for script: Invalid config.
What is going wrong ?
edit : input_slider: has to be input_number:
now I only got this left:

I’m gonna update the config in my original post when I have the time to revamp my HA setup in the future. A lot have happened in HA since july last year, and a lot of people seems to like the player

{% if is_state(“input_select.spotify_source”, “Stue”) %} Stue
Is the last Stue the name of your audio system ? and the first name what is seen on the combobox ?

KeyError: ''I think the problem is that HASS don’t see my chromecast. If I first cast from my phone then choose a new playlist in HASS, then chromecast plays the new playlist.
Any idea to solve this? It’s pretty annoying that i have to cast first from my phone.
Sorry, it’s a known bug between Chromecast and HASS. From what I’ve read there is no other solution.
@Henrik1986 It sounds like the problem I encountered - and why I have abondening making Spotify work with Chromecasts and the Spotify Component - it’s simply too unreliable.
Yes, as @bonterra notes, HASS can have some difficulties with connecting to chromecasts. But if you really want to troubleshoot it not being the Spotify Component: Take a look at the spotify attributes - I bet you the reason that it’s not working is that the component have forgotten that your chromecast exists - until you cast from your phone. According to the component documentation you are only supposed to do this on the initial setup, but something goes wrong between spotify connect and the component where it simply refuses to remember chromecasts at random. The error is often blamed on spotify connect, but to be honest I don’t give much for that explanation since this is not an issue for any other device I own running Spotify.
If you find that the above seems to be correct in your case you can give Mopipy + Icecast2 a try, I havent have time to try it myself yet, but @robwolff3 did a post about it back in January.
I can see the group. I can change the options, but it doesn’t work. Can anybody help me out ? This is the code:

where media_player.slaapkamer is my bose soundtouch ( only 1)
I finally got the volume working. I noticed though if you change the volume in Spotify, the volume slider for this player won’t update. Might be a new feature to add.
Is there a way to get the current volume level from the Spotify player in Home Assistant?
Update: I was able to add that feature with this:
- action:
- data_template:
entity_id: input_number.spotify_volume
value: "{{states.media_player.spotify.attributes.volume_level}}"
service: input_number.set_value
alias: Spotify Playlist Volume Set
condition: []
id: '1523468433728'
trigger:
- entity_id: media_player.spotify
platform: stateHas anyone gotten podcast URI’s to work? Or is this feature not supported yet?
Good morning.
I got my spotify works. However, I don’t understand about the media_player part especially the aliases part. Please kindly advice.
media_player:
- platform: spotify
client_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
client_secret: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
aliases:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: 'Web Player (Chrome)' <== Where is the 'xxx' from and stand for? and also "Web Player (Chrome)" <== is this the name of speaker devices in HA example 'name of the media_player in ha I have?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: 'All Home Speakers'Thank you very much. I got it working so nice.
regarding the question above ‘aliases’ I didn’t use that part in my media_player at all.
Makani where did you add this code? Thanks!
Also what is the “ID” in your example.
@makani47
Your automation only updates when you pause or play the spotify. I added a feature to change the sliders while playing. It includes a 10 second delay to prevent input number jumping to “original” value. So when volume changed outside HA it actually takes 10 seconds + time to notice the change to update input_number.
@Dracoy
That code needs to be in “automation:” section. If you want to modify your automations from the front end they need to have unique ID’s. ID can be whatever you come up with.
- alias: Spotify volume (set)
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_number.spotify_volume
action:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.spotify
volume_level: '{{ states.input_number.spotify_volume.state }}'
- alias: Spotify volume (get)
trigger:
- platform: template
value_template: '{{(states.media_player.spotify.attributes.volume_level | float) != (states.input_number.spotify_volume.state | float) }}'
action:
# 10 second delay to prevent input_number jumping to "original" value
# before it is updated from spotify
- delay: '00:00:10'
- service: input_number.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_number.spotify_volume
value: "{{states.media_player.spotify.attributes.volume_level}}"
