Partly worksReturned device_id behaves oddly; documented in README
Saved copy
Added the spotify-api types which are already a dependency of the Spotify node package. Also added some documentation on weird behavior I found trying to use Amazon Alexa devices. I discovered the device_id being returned from the API did not work for the pause/play API by using the Spotify developer console and seeing 404s in the network tab of Chrome devtools. Then, I went to the web Spotify player and looked at the network traffic in Chrome devtools while I started playback on the device in question and noticed the id Spotify was using to start playback was a substring of the other id.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
