Sorry for the maybe stupid question, but I only have my Homey Pro since a few days now and am starting to play with it. **QUESTION:** Is there a way for Homey to kick off a flow that instructs a Google Home speaker in a different location in your house to play a Spotify playlist? My setup is in Dutch on both devices but I am not located in the Netherlands (which already causes some problems on its own). But I am trying to find out if it is worthwhile using my Homey rather than my bedroom Google Home mini, to set up an alarm in the morning where I hear some wake up mood music and have the lights go on smoothly. ---

On your app go to ‘meer’ \> instellingen \> taal and set the laguage to Enlish. That will help. As far as i know you can’t start a playlist on a google home speaker in combination with homey. ---

Thanks Peter, I have read about changing the language too but I bought these devices in the past 2 weeks after I read that they supported my native language. Going to English defeats the purpose and will significantly reduce the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) on my end. ---

Have you tried it with: [https://apps.athom.com/app/com.spotify](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.spotify) I beleive you can pair your google home with that app. ---

I wanted to create an advanced flow for an alarm in the morning in Homey to start playing music and gradually fading the light up over a period of time. The music I want to play on my Google Home device is a playlist in Spotify. Given the current limitation in the Google API, you cannot play Spotify on a Google Home device from Homey. The workaround is to have two routines, one in Google Home and one in …
