The easiest way to install the integration is via the Home Assistant Community Store (or HACS for short). Check out the HACS Install Documentation form more information on how to install HACS in your Home Assistant environment.

If you do not want to use HACS, you can also install the integration manually by copying files from the GitHub project.

Both installation types are covered below.

HACS Installation Instructions

  • go to HACS main menu.
  • click on the 3-dot overflow menu in the upper right, and select custom repositories item.
  • copy / paste https://github.com/thlucas1/homeassistantcomponent_spotifyplus in the Repository textbox and select Integration for the category entry.
  • click on Add to add the custom repository.
  • you can then click on the SpotifyPlus repository entry (you may need to filter your list first to find the new entry).
  • click on download to start the download. It will install the spotifyplus integration to your config/custom_components directory.
  • restart HA to start using the component.

Manual Installation

  • Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
  • If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
  • In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called spotifyplus.
  • Download all of the files from the custom_components/spotifyplus/ directory (folder) in this repository.
  • Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
  • Restart Home Assistant.
  • In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "SpotifyPlus"

Configuration

All configuration of the integration is done in the UI; check out the Device Configuration Options wiki page for more details.
