Hi
So I am new to musicbox and I really like it so far. So I have been a huge spotify fan from the beginning and I love to listen to music. Lately I have gotton into home automation as well, where I have amazon Alexa ( Voice commands) to control my home. So here it goes what I would like to achieve.
I want to tell alexa “trigger playlist Rock” and then she will start that playlist on spotify. So to do this I need to be able to run a command line command to start that playlist. What is the command for that? Or the best is if I could use the mpd binding for openhab, however it seems like it does not support playlist commands.
Then what will be really smooth, would be if I could use alexa to search for artist and find it on spotify, but I have no Idea how to achieve this:)
My final question, whats the benefit of the music pi GUI over spotify GUI? Well to put it short if I can not get alexa to search for artist I could just use mopidy(command line tool or?) to play playlist and then use spotify and chromecat/chrome audio (as I do today) if I first need to start up my phone/laptop to search for artist? Does the musicbox has some cool features that spotify does not have? Something I am missing?
And thoughts on setup would be highly appreciated.
