Unreliable Spotify Integration: Frequent Disconnections and “Unavailable”

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing some frustrating issues with the Spotify integration in my Home Assistant setup. It frequently becomes “unavailable” and, as a result, is unreliable for any automation or regular use. Here are the details:

  • Spotify shows as “unavailable” often.
  • In my logs, I see recurring errors like this:
Logger: homeassistant.components.spotify.coordinator
Quelle: helpers/update_coordinator.py:395
Integration: Spotify (Dokumentation, Probleme)
Erstmals aufgetreten: 16:50:07 (27 Vorkommnisse)
Zuletzt protokolliert: 17:55:43

Error requesting spotify data: Cannot connect to host api.spotify.com:443 ssl:default [Connection reset by peer]

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

  • Checked network connection (stable, other integrations work fine).
  • Re-authenticated the Spotify integration several times.
  • Tried changing DNS servers in my pihole, disabled pihole and rebooting my router.
  • Updated Home Assistant and all components to the latest versions.

It seems like Home Assistant loses connection to Spotify’s API randomly.

Has anyone else run into similar issues recently? Could it be something on Spotify’s end, or maybe an SSL/TLS compatibility issue with Home Assistant?

Any advice or confirmation that others are also experiencing this would be appreciated!
I did not opened an github issue yet, as I first want to see if this is a I-am-stupid-thing.

Thanks in advance!

You might give my SpotifyPlus integration a try if you can’t get the Spotify integration working as expected. It provides all of the functionality that the HA Spotify integration provides, as well as a ton of custom services.

Regarding your post, it sounds like more of a networking issue than a problem with the integration. Not sure how to direct you on that one.

Hope it helps.
