Hello,

If I create a Flow like this :

- When a bulb is switched on
- Then play a playlist on Spotify

It works correctly the first time but not when triggerd a second time unless a good lapse of time has occurred (not seconds, several minutes). Or if a different track has been played on Spotify. It’s like Spotify needs to be reset before working again.  
I noticed this kind of malfunction also with different Flows activating Spotify.

Spotify is been played on different alexa devices at home.

Is it something I can fix? It’s a bug in the app?

Thank you  
Nicola

This is a command to start some thing, to start it again, it should be stopped first by a command.

Thank you for your help,

There’s a second flow that when the bulb is switched off then the Spotify is set to pause.

Anyway I fixed it this way :

When the bulb is on  
Then  
Play a playlist on Spotify  
Set to shuffle play  
Move to the next track

Using this combination I found it working everytime and, most important, everytime the bulb is on there’s a different track playing

Thank you again and have a nice evening  
Nicola
