Is there a way or i need to do it manualy?
Chromecast app
i have chormcast app
and i can see my speker with it (my google home speaker)
but i am not sure how to activate music via homey and not via spotify app
What do you like to achieve?
It is for example very interesting to create a flow and start some music if for example somebody is coming home.
I used it for example on a wake up alarm. just create a flow by setting a time and choose a playlist or radio station to play.
I want to be able to play and stop music from homey app
And not go into spotify app and then stream from there to google home…
Can u shere your flow?
Make a flow and cast a video/audio OR cast a tunein station to the chromecast
Spotify as you requested is not an option
mmm ok
10x !
Is this feature still working? I have tried several times without any luck. Which URL should I look for if I want to start a playlist on either Youtube or Youtube Music on a Google Home Speaker (mini and the Hub).
I only use this feature with radiostations mp3 streams, that certainly works. Maybe youtube only works on google hubs with screens?
Most likely, I also tried IFTTT but no result either.
I know this thread is old, but I had the same issue now and I found a workaround for this.
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 Homey.
A bit dirty, but this should work:
-
Set up an alarm routine in Google Home on the particular device, say “Bedroom”, that is triggered at 07:00, sets the volume to 0% on the Bedroom device, and starts playing the wanted playlist.
-
In an advanced flow in Homey, set up a When card at the same time, 07:00, add a 5 second delay, and add a card for pausing the music on the Bedroom device.
-
Do all the other stuff you want in the flow, and when you want to start plyaing the music, set the volume of the Bedroom device, and add a Play on the Bedroom device. The device will then unpause the previously paused playlist.
