I've been doing a lot with Home Assistant lately, and lots of things that play nicely like node-red.

Does anyone have a set up to manage music service playback to media players like Google Home (or I guess it's Nest now) speakers?

It would be fantastic to start playing music via Spotify from the dashboard, or based on events and node-red flows. Not sure if the new forked-daapd integration will help me out here, but last time I tried to work with MPD specifically (unrelated project) I ran into walls left and right trying to get something working.

You can kind of do this with the mini-media-player and Spotify card. I guess I need to do a write up on this. It doesn't work the greatest unless you have audio groups setup. You could define a scene with the speakers and playlist you want to play as well.
