Spotify Music Control Automation

This workflow is ideal for:

• Music Enthusiasts: Those who want to control their Spotify playback seamlessly using a smart remote.
• Smart Home Users: Individuals who have smart devices and want to integrate their Spotify experience with home automation.
• Developers: Those looking to create custom music control solutions using the Spotify API and MQTT triggers.
• Tech Savvy Individuals: Users who enjoy automating their music experience and experimenting with APIs and integrations.

This workflow addresses the challenge of controlling Spotify playback through physical remote buttons. It allows users to:

• Easily switch between songs with simple button presses.
• Adjust volume levels effortlessly, increasing or decreasing by 5% with each button press.
• Pause and resume playback without needing to access the Spotify app directly.
• Activate specific playback devices based on user preferences, enhancing the overall music experience.

1. Trigger: The workflow is manually triggered by receiving an MQTT message from a smart remote switch.
2. Device Activation: The workflow retrieves available Spotify devices and filters them based on the user's specified device name.
3. Playback Control: Depending on the button pressed (e.g., volume up, volume down, play/pause), the workflow routes to the appropriate function:
   • Volume Control: Adjusts the Spotify volume by 5% up or down, ensuring it remains within the range of 20% to 100%.
   • Playback Control: Allows users to play the next or previous song or pause/resume playback based on the button pressed.
4. Playback Status Check: Before performing actions, the workflow checks if the target device is already playing to avoid unnecessary commands.
5. Conditional Logic: The workflow uses conditional nodes to determine which action to execute based on the received MQTT message, ensuring a responsive and intuitive user experience.
