Missing documentation about Apple Music, Spotify and Sonos

Open tetienne opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Hi, I just discovered in the configuration an occurence of theses services.

I was not able to find any explanation about this. What’s the goal of these lines?

I think it's related to these:

  • https://github.com/adonno/tagreader/pull/156
  • and maybe https://github.com/adonno/tagreader/pull/162/files which introduces https://github.com/adonno/tagreader/blob/master/blueprints/PlayMusicTag.yaml

My best guess is that you can import and setup the Blueprint in Home Assistant, and then call the esphome.tagreader_xxyyzz__write_music_tag service with a Spotify/Apple Music/Sonos URL and put a tag on the reader to write it. Then I suspect scanning the tag will result in music playing.

It looks pretty neat.

I am also struggling a little with no documentation especially with the music addon. I do understand the tags how they get added and how they trigger automation, but the write random stuff on the tag confuses me. Could someone at least make a video or write something besides code to explain how this gets used properly and what possibilities it has? Thanks

I'm interested in this as well! @luka6000 and @adonno seem to be the authors of those code. Could you please add some documentation for it? Thanks a lot!
