Spotify Connect support

I mainly listen to music through the speakers in my house. With the phone app I am using Spotify Connect for this. Would be lovely if the r1 would let me do this too.

And to be able to join a Spotify Jam on the speakers would be sweet too!

This would be great. I am using Ikea-speakers which are compatible with Spotify Connect, Airplay and Sonos app.

My r1 was able to play Spotify through a Sonos speaker on the same wireless network with zero to minimal setup. I’m not sure which steps are required but here’s what I did:

  1. Connect Android phone, Sonos speaker, and r1 to same wireless network
  2. Play music through the phone speaker via Spotify app on phone
  3. Play that same music through the Sonos speaker (by pressing the little Speaker icon on the song track bar in the app and selecting your networked Sonos speaker)
  4. Pause the music on the Spotify phone app
  5. r1: {PTT} “Play <any song> by <any artist>” [meaning, the phone was playing song X but I had the r1 tell Spotify to play song Y]
  6. It worked! :slight_smile:
