Is there any way to make a flow in which my Hue lights will switch on in Spotify sync mode when I start playing Spotify on me chromecast or Samsung tv? * * * Dutch Is er een mogelijkheid om een flow te maken met daarin verwerkt de sync modus van Hue lampen (play bars) samen met Spotify als ik luister via Spotify op mijn chromecast of Samsung tv?? ---

I would also like to know if there is a possibility to activate this via Homey. ---

I shared my workaround for syncing music through a flow here: [Hue Sync Box Mode - #4 by Erikvl87](https://community.homey.app/t/hue-sync-box-mode/54510/4) I’ve used the [Android TV](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.android.tv/Android-TV/) app (for my NVidia Shield) with its trigger card “When an app is opened” to check if the app name is either containing `tunein` or `spotify` to set the sync mode to `music`. ---

Nice workaround , using the shield app triggers to auto-switch hue sync to music mode. ---

Thanks a lot. I made the script work. However, it’s only changing the mode to Music. But I want the script to change the input on my sync box to Spotify and the Area to the Music Area. What am I doing wrong?
