SpotifyPlus Integration

That rules out issues with the dashboard.

I am still leaning towards a conflict with another card / resource. I did some more searching on the error message, and found this thread that talked about the same issue (with another integration). They used the following to diagnose the issue and determine which resource was causing the problem:

I eventually managed to figure out which card caused the conflict by moving all the cards except the irrigation unlimited card out from the www/community folder, after which the irrigation unlimited card started working. I then copied back card by card, refreshing the browser each time, until I found the culprit.

You might try the same - move all folders (except the spotifyplus_card) out from the /config/www/community folder. At this point, the SpotifyPlus Card should start working. You can then copy each of the folders back (one-by-one), hard-refreshing the browser after each folder is copied back and clicking on the SpotifyPlus Card devices refresh button to refresh the list.

So I did some more research on the possible card suspects. I looked at the repository source in each one to determine what version of the “home-assistant-js-websocket” module they were importing in package.json. The following have a version less than 9.2.0, which can cause the “action requires responses” error:

* /hacsfiles/battery-state-card/battery-state-card.js   	"home-assistant-js-websocket": (not in package.json, dependency of custom-card-helpers = "home-assistant-js-websocket": "^6.0.1")
* /hacsfiles/config-template-card/config-template-card.js	"home-assistant-js-websocket": "^5.11.1",
* /hacsfiles/lovelace-navbar-card/navbar-card.js		"home-assistant-js-websocket": "^6.0.1"
* /hacsfiles/mini-media-player/mini-media-player-bundle.js	"home-assistant-js-websocket": "^6.1.0",
* /hacsfiles/stack-in-card/stack-in-card.js			"home-assistant-js-websocket": "^5.7.0",

I would bet that it is one of the above that is causing the problem.

Sorry, had much to do so haven’t gotten back to you.

Tried removing everyone on your list, did a full restart.

Error still there.

Try the following … move all folders (except the spotifyplus_card ) out from the /config/www/community folder. Then restart HA and clear your browser cache (including cookies). At this point, the SpotifyPlus Card should start working. You can then copy each of the folders back (one-by-one), hard-refreshing the browser after each folder is copied back and clicking on the SpotifyPlus Card devices refresh button to refresh the list.

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to automatically update albums, playlists, artists, etc. (for example, when the integration is played). I noticed that to get an updated list, I have to click “refresh media list” every time. Alternatively, what service/action does that button correspond to?

thlucas · February 6, 2026, 2:19pm

@Ector73
Currently, the only section that automatically refreshes itself is the Device list. The reason for this is to increase speed / responsiveness, as all other sections used locally cached data.

I can add auto-refresh capability as an enhancement though, keeping in mind that it can take a anywhere between 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds to refresh the section display that is currently active.

I will keep you posted on that.

Thank you for your commitment!

I was working on adding a second Spotify account and I read this…I hope it doesn’t change anything for us!

thlucas · February 6, 2026, 7:13pm

Thanks for the heads up @Ector73

As I suspected, Spotify developers are making changes to their platform for February 2026 with little to no warning. Here are the general takeaways:

they infer that the Spotify Developer Portal will be open again starting February 11th 2026 (5 days from this writing).
changes will affect all Spotify Developer App client id’s starting March 9th 2026 (approximately 30 days from this writing).
it appears they deprecated some more Spotify Web API endpoints, specifically ones that relate to pulling of bulk data:

Done that, I’m on a ipad using the HA app, so did the companion app/debugg/reset catch option that I use when I do any major changes to my picture element dash.

Nothing changed, same error

@tormodnt
Any chance you can use Google Chrome on a desktop browser? Mobile and Tablet browsers pretty much cache everything, as well as the HA Companion App.

You need a browser where you can do a hard refresh between moving individual cards back into the /config/www/community folder.

What a load of crap. Have you looked into Tidal at all? I quickly cruised through their web api. It’s extensive.

thlucas · February 7, 2026, 6:11am

@bdubsw
I have not looked into Tidal, as my Bose gear does not support it (legacy tech). The whole reason I got into the Spotify eco-system was because of my Bose gear - just love the way it sounds compared to Sonos and Nest.

It appears most of the core functionality will remain, which is good I guess. The deprecated functions are all related to bulk data pulls, which is what Spotify is currently upset about (due to the Anna’s Archive breach probably).

I just don’t know if I am going to continue with Spotify or not, as the Bose Cloud service is being discontinued in May which may completely disable Spotify on those devices. Spotify also raised the price of Premium again this month ($1 per month more now). Kind of adds insult to injury. SMH

@thlucas looks like the other platforms don’t offer playback control like Spotify does, so might be a non-starter for folks using HA to initiate playback.

Curious, I read up. Looks like they’re saying spotify connect will still work.

Just released SpotifyPlus Card v1.0.69, which adds auto-refresh capabilities to each of the sections. It also corrects rendering of dropdown list controls when using HA 2026.02.x.

To enable auto-refresh, you must add the following configuration options (omit the ones that do not need auto-refresh):

albumFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true
recentBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true
playlistFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true
artistFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true
trackFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true
audiobookFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true
showFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true
episodeFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry: true

They are also configurable via the Card Editor UI (example for Album section):

Please let me know if you have any issues.
Thanks!

Version Change Summary

[ 1.0.69 ] - 2026/02/07

Added theme variable --spc-card-content-margin and cardContentSectionMargin card configuration option; Card content section margin value (default is 0.0rem).
Added cover artwork url value to audiobook, show, and track information displays so that it can be easily copied to the clipboard by clicking the value.
Added copy covert artwork url to clipboard functionality for all search result types. Just click the cover artwork image in the item details, and the url will be placed on the clipboard to be pasted in other applications.
Fixed recentBrowserItemsPerRow setting that was causing it to always use 4 items per row.
Fixed deviceBrowserItemsPerRow setting that was causing it to always use 4 items per row.
Added card configuration option albumFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry; True to enable refresh of Album Favorites media browser items on initial section display; otherwise, False to use cached data (faster rendering).
Added card configuration option artistFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry; True to enable refresh of Artist Favorites media browser items on initial section display; otherwise, False to use cached data (faster rendering).
Added card configuration option audiobookFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry; True to enable refresh of Audiobook Favorites media browser items on initial section display; otherwise, False to use cached data (faster rendering).
Added card configuration option episodeFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry; True to enable refresh of Episode Favorites media browser items on initial section display; otherwise, False to use cached data (faster rendering).
Added card configuration option playlistFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry; True to enable refresh of Playlist Favorites media browser items on initial section display; otherwise, False to use cached data (faster rendering).

Added card configuration option trackFavBrowserItemsRefreshOnEntry; True to enable refresh of Track Favorites media browser items on initial section display; otherwise, False to use cached data (faster rendering).
updated all ha-md-button-menu references to use the ha-dropdown component, as HA 2026.02.0 dropped support for the ha-md-button-menu component. This was causing action menu items to always appear visible below a dropdown list icon, instead of being hidden until the dropdown was clicked.
updated npm dependency: "home-assistant-js-websocket": "^9.6.0".

Hi Thlucas,
Everything works great! Thanks again!
