Wow, this looks really promising! Thanks for doing this.

My family back home is hooked on Google Home but sister agreed to switch off for the kids - but her requirement is to be able to control Spotify via voice.

Given I set aside enough of my time to help them out and figure out appropriate hardware, do you think it's worth a shot with HI?

I've been meaning to take a look at Spotify through Home Assistant and what that is capable of (and potentially voice controlling it)

But, if you wanted to write some python to directly play some pre-defined playlists (it currently can't do open speech transcription), you could definitely make that happen with Home Intent!

It supports custom components, so any integration is technically possible: https://homeintent.io/reference/developer/example-component/

I tried to design the interface to be easy to understand what sentences trigger what functions, and not have to write a lot of boiler code.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

The Spotify part I'm assuming I will figure out - was more curious as to how your experience with voice control has been, if it performs well enough to be practical.

I think we're just about there. The wake word could still be a tad better, which might just be some settings on my part. Most of the time the intent recognition works as expected. At this point, it's how we primarily control lights and timers at home. So pretty practical!
