Hi there,

Trying to create some flows that launch or play songs on my soundbar through the spotify homey app.  
Whatever I try (simple example below), I get the following error message;

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/b/dbd15ae4ac21140f7f68acb0079bab42c318f22e.png)

Does it mean it requires spotify premium or is there an issue with homey premium? (I should have homey premium.)  
Any people who could confirm from experience?

Yes. To use the Spotify API, you need to have a premium membership.

Spotify Premium that is.
