Check out out the userPresetsFile documentation for more info.
With that said, I just noticed a small issue with the docs… I need to change all references of “soundtouchplus” to “spotifyplus” in the docs, as I copied some of these docs from another integration with similar functionality. Apologies for the confusion.
Can I have it connected to only 1 device ?
I just installed this card and are trying to set it up. If I play something from the Spotify app on my default Spotify Connect player, it will show in the card, but if I try to choose something else, e.g. a playlist or a recently played song from the card I always get this error:
“The “SpotifyConnectLoginId” configuration option was not supplied, which is required in order to reactivate a Spotify Connect device.”
Same error message if I select my default player from the card. In fact, any action except clicking the Play button from the leftmost page of the card, fails with the same message.
I guess it doesn’t have to do with the need to reactivate the player, as it is already active and playing via Spotify Connect.
What could be wrong?
@tomoqv
You need to set the SpotifyPlus LoginId configuration option, which is used to reactivate a Spotify Connect device. I would also set the Userid and Password values as well; some devices require all 3 settings, others require just the loginId.
I believe it tries to activate it, regardless if it’s already active or not.
Hi Lucas, I’ve been using your Spotifyplus integration with the card for a few days now. However, I have noticed more and more often that I regularly get this message when changing songs! Is this a known problem or is there a solution?
Best regards

Sorry folks, but I have some disappointing news from the Spotify Developer API camp. It turns out Spotify has decided to remove the following functionality without any sort of warning or grace period. This was announced on the Spotify Developer Forum Blog on Thursday November 27th 2024 (US Thanksgiving holiday - definitely nothing worth giving thanks for IMHO!).
The Spotify Web API will no longer be able to access or use the following endpoints and functionality in third-party applications (SpotifyPlus being one of them):
SimpleTrack object)What these changes mean for the SpotifyPlus Integration and SpotifyPlus Card Dashboard users is that the corresponding functions that access the above features will no longer work, and in most case will return an error message.
You can make your voice and opinion be heard by posting a reply on the Spotify Community Forum. Let them know that this change is not acceptable and how disappointed you are. Please be respectful in the process; scream and shout with your internal voice if you have to (like I did). 
I currently have no plans to try an re-implement the affected functionality, as the deprecated Spotify Web API functions were the only way to retrieve the information. It’s proprietary data, and if they don’t want to share then that’s their prerogative.
Spotify is still a great platform for music streaming, but they lost a lot of respect from me today as a Spotify Champion and user of their Spotify Web API. As a developer of numerous API’s myself, it’s unheard of to simply shut off a feature or endpoint without giving some sort of notice or grace period; and we definitely don’t make major changes like this over a major holiday! IMHO, they totally dropped the ball on this one, not to mention dropped the hammer on numerous developers!
Just thought that you would want to know, and sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I will cross-post this in the SpotifyPlus Card community forum post as well.
3758dfdsfjk435hjk6k79lm0n3c4, 1257898300, etc)", which is where I stumble. Is that the number next to the player in the dropdown list or where do I find that?
This option contains the Spotify Connect canonical login ID (e.g. 3758dfdsfjk435hjk6k79lm0n3c4, 1257898300, etc) used to login to a Spotify Connect device. This MUST be the canonical equivalent value of the spotifyConnectUsername value. Note that for some Spotify accounts, the LoginId and Username values are the same. Not sure why that is, as it’s a Spotify internals kind of thing.
The LoginId value can easily be found using the Spotify Developer Web portal, using the Get Current Users profile service. Click on the Try It button, then find the id response value.
This option is required when activating Spotify Connect devices (including librespot).
I am very sorry to hear this! I was just getting into using Spotify more from my HA platform.
Yes, thank you, this is where I have been reading. I still don’t understand how to retrieve the “canonical login id”.
This doesn’t give me a login id in the format described above, just my Spotify user name.
@tomoqv
The canonical logon is and the username are the same for some Spotify users. Just use the username for the loginid.
FYI - just released a new version of the SpotifyPlus Card Dashboard
[ 1.0.15 ] - 2024/12/02
SpotifyClient.GetPlaylist and SpotifyClient.GetPlaylistItems methods for Spotify-owned / generated content (e.g. “Made For You”, etc). A 404 - Not Found error will be returned when trying to retrieve information for these playlist types.@Richi
I believe you posted this same question in the SpotifyPlus integration community forum …
In your reply to that, you mentioned you have a Denon AVR X-1600H and Teufel holist speakers. I am waiting on someone to run some Wireshark network traces for me on a Denon HEOS device (similar to yours maybe). After I get those, I should know a little bit better of what is going on with the Denon devices.
I don’t have any Denon devices to test with, so I am relying on others with Wireshark network tracing abilities to help me out.
Hello, I would love to help you with Wireshark. However, I have no experience with it! If you say the whole thing is feasible for a layman with your help, then I can install it. Best regards
Stefan
@Richi
Thanks for the offer, but there is a steep learning curve to Wireshark and network tracing and I just don’t have much extra time these days.
With that said, check out the following links if you want to try things on your own …
Hope it helps!
Thank you, it worked! From the wiki I didn’t think it was that simple as my 6 letter user id.
Thanks Lucas, I will look into it!
Hi Todd, please send me a PN for sharing the trace. Thanks
