I was hoping to use IFTTT (If This Then That) to launch a Deezer Flow playlist or the Spotify equivalent (if it exists) but I can't seem to find any IFTTT actions that would let me do this.
What I'm trying to do here is quite simple.
I have a Bluetooth speaker in my kitchen, and I like to listen to music from my Smartphone on the speaker while I work in there.
It's a bit cumbersome to have to take out my phone / unlock it / turn Bluetooth on / pair with the speaker / launch my music app / start playing / turn volume up every time.
So I'd like to buy an Amazon Dash button, stick it wherever, and when I press it, everything I described earlier takes place automatically (except taking the phone out of my pocket, that'd be a whole other project).
The only roadblock is that you can't just start a web streaming service playlist that easily, it seems.
Any of you guys have any ideas?
Also, smartphone-based home automation thread I guess.

Why does it have to happen from your smartphone? Why not assemble a small server for music streaming in your kitchen?

That sounds like a good plan, I like it.
In my garage, I just use an old smart phone to stream music.

Because I already have all the hardware I need except the Amazon button. I'm looking for simplicity here, I don't want yet another CPU in my house that I have to maintain. My solution is literally "push button, receive music".

If worst comes to worst I guess I could have an old smartphone permanently paired to the speaker, with the Deezer app permanently open. But I'd rather have the "button" solution work - plus it'd be fun for me to build

Why not just get something like an echo dot hooked up to the speaker and spotify account?

No experience with these. Can they understand and follow commands through such as "play Deezer Flow"?

Yes, but specifically 'alexa, play assrape playlist on Spotify,' and echo, when connected to your preferred audio source, will play. I'm setting up a whole house sound system soon based on this.
It also allows you to use your iot shit while in use. Dims music and everything.
50 bucks. Can't beat that.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can chain commands, but I'd google that first.

>Q. How to Stop and Delete Voice Recordings in Alexa?
>A. Amazon’s Alexa app doesn’t let you stop recordings altogether..
you fuckers srsly want to install hardware spy devices on a level and scale that would land the fucking NSA before a grand jury, and, you fucking PAY for the privilege? Every-fucking-thing said in your house, for the rest of eternity, landing on the servers of an organisation who freely admit, they will use any and all of your information for commercial purposes, and all because, 'you can voice activate spotify playlists, like, cool, man..'
ISHYGDDT etc - this is so fucking retarded, it makes me sad, literally.
