Hi everyone,

I’m using Sonos + Spotify + Homey in a holiday rental, and I’m trying to create a setup where classical music always plays in the entrance hall, fully automatically and without guest interaction.

My setup

- Sonos speaker (entrance hall)

- Dedicated Spotify account for the holiday home

- Homey

### The problem

The music stops after some time.

My assumption is that once the playlist ends, playback stops and does not loop automatically.

Additionally, I have a few open questions:

1. How can I make sure the playlist keeps playing endlessly?

2. How can I check remotely if the Sonos is still playing?

3. What is the best practice to start playback:

4. I usually start the music on-site using my phone.

### Goal

- Music should play continuously (or restart automatically)

- No dependency on my phone being connected

- Ability to monitor or auto-restart playback via Homie

- Stable setup suitable for a rental property

I’d love to hear:

- Recommended Homey flows

- Sonos + Spotify best practices

- Whether repeat / looping can be enforced via Homey or Sonos

Thanks in advance for any insights!

As far as I know you can only use the Homey Sonos app ([Sonos | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.sonos/Sonos/)) for this. The available Spotify apps won’t work because the Spotify API can’t control Sonos devices.

Looking at the app there is a “when playback stopped” and a “Repeat [entity]” card. Only thing I would be aware of is that this also resumes playback if it’s stopped by your guests. I don’t see a good option to distinguish a user stopping playback or a playlist stopping..
