Hi guys - I’m hopeful someone here could guide me on how to stream my Spotify audio (via HA) through my Google Nest speakers. For some background, I have a series of Nest speakers integrated to HA.
And, I have integrated Spotify in HA, and see my music when initiated from Spotify, however I don’t see any of the Nest speakers as a possible source for Spotify audio.
What might be the best way to approach this? I might not be providing enough information at this stage… 
Thanks for the tip @michaelblight! I set up spotcast, but I can’t get Spotcast to reliably find my Google Nest speakers:
Here is the service configuration I have:
Any idea why the service can’t find the speakers?
Does the friendly name in HA match the name in the Google app? I think they have to. If I change the friendly name of one of mine, then I get the same error you’re getting.
Yea the friendly name definitely matches…
Not sure what else might be impacting this…
The only other thought I have is hve you successfully sent music to it from the Spotify app? I think I read somewhere that helps.
It’s really odd, I have music casting to the speaker from Spotify:
That media even shows up on Kitchen Large Speaker on Spotcast:
But when I call the service it tells me it can’t find the speaker.
Any ideas on what else I could troubleshoot?
Actually, I was wrong — event using Device ID I am not able to reliably cast Spotify to a Google Nest speaker. I can only do so if I had just previously played music (via Spotify app) on that speaker.
Curious if anyone has managed to reliably get Spotify or SpotCast to a Google Nest speaker?
Were you ever able to resolve this? I am having the same exact issue that you are having, even trying to send commands with spotcast and having no luck. I figure its an issue with the Spotify API in some way.
I was not able to solve it unfortunately.

In case you are still monitoring this thread …
My SpotifyPlus integration might be able to help with re-activating the Spotify Connect device (SpotCast not required).
I put together a quick How To document on the SpotifyPlus Wiki documentation page with details and service call examples of how to do this. I have had good luck with Onkyo, Bose, PureSound, and Yamaha users that have been able to re-establish a Spotify Connect device with it.
Give it a try and let me know if you have questions or issues.
Thank you! Checking it out.
