openhab_spotify-webconnect-api

A simple Python script to integrate Spotify's Web Connect API (https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/web-api-connect-endpoint-reference/) to OpenHab (openhab.org)

Prerequisite

• OpenHab 2.1 installed on Raspberry Pi (or similar)
• OpenHab REST installed
• Spotify User Account
• Spotify Developer Account
• The script uses OpenHab items to store parameters and credentials. Make sure you have persistance turned on, otherwise all your settingd are lost upon reboot/restart
• Know your OpenHab root URL/IP and port. In this doc, I assume http://openhabianpi.local:8080/

Instructions

1. Add the spotify.items file into openhab-conf/items and verify they have been added to your setup in Paper UI

• Check by asking the rest API: http://openhabianpi.local:8080/rest/items/spotify_auth_code
• You should get a successful JSON response

2. Place the following files in the folders:

• matrix-theme.css into openhab-conf/html/matrix-theme
• AppIcons.svg into openhab-conf/html/matrix-theme
• spotify-auth.html into openhab-conf/html
• myopenhab.py into openhab-conf/scripts
• spotify.py into openhab-conf/scripts
• spotify.rules into openhab-conf/rules
• spotify.items into openhab-conf/items

3. Verify you can reach spotify-auth.html

• Go to: http://openhabianpi.local:8080/static/spotify-auth.html
• You should see a page called "Spotify Integration" with a status message "spotify_client_id" missing

4. After registering as a Spotify developer, create a new App and retrieve client id and secret:

• Goto https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/#!/applications
• Click "Create App"
• Provide a name and description
• Set the Redirect URI to: http://openhabianpi.local:8080/static/spotify-auth.html
• Save the Settings

5. Give the client id and secret to OpenHab

• Save the Client ID to spotify_client_id in OpenHab (e.g. through openhab CLI smarthome:update spotify_client_id {your_id})
• Copy the Client Secret to spotify_client_secret in OpenHab (e.g. through the rest API)

6. Authenticate your New App for your Spotify User

• Go to: http://openhabianpi.local:8080/static/spotify-auth.html
• You should see a page called "Spotify Integration" with a status message "Click here to Authenticate"
• Click the link and authenticate your app
• When done, the page returns and displays "New Auth Code successfully saved to OpenHab!"
• Check that the spotify_auth_code is set in OpenHab

7. Test spotify.py in SSH

• Set the REDIRECT_URI in spotify.py to the right value
• Run this in terminal /usr/bin/python /etc/openhab2/scripts/spotify.py

You should see this:

Done in 0.761183977127 seconds

8. You can now hook up OpenHab rules or HabPanel with the data in the spotify items.

Use

• spotify.py
• parameters:
  • none = refresh data
  • play = resume playing
  • play uri = play suported uris (album, artist or playlist), e.g. spotify:user:spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX5OepaGriAIm
  • pause = pause
  • next = next track
  • previous = previous track
  • volume_up = 10% up
  • volume_down = 10% down
  • get_devices = get available devices and safe to openhab
  • transfer_playback = transfer playback to device set in openhab
