Hi there, I successfully added my Onkyo receiver-enabled Spotify Connect, to Homey 2.0 Flows can now contain playback of selected artists, albums and playlists. It already works wonderful with different triggers. However, sometimes I like to be surprised when music plays. For instance, in the mor…

That’s exactly what i was thinking About. Unfortunatly that’s no solution for me or you. :thinking:

Funny, because I seem to remember that homey could randomly select items in flows with one app or another. Maybe you could do it with the ‘else’ cards?

It works on Spotify Connect devices, but Spotify Connect does not find my Sonos devices. The shuffle card is not available on Sonos devices though.
