| Amazon Alexa / Echo devices (Spotify Connect) | Partly works | Returned device_id behaves oddly; documented in READMESaved copyAdded 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.

In ReReHome
Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
Caveats from the README

HomeKit services in its code
Found by scanning the published npm package. A plugin can register a service only for some devices.
