How to control Spotify from Homeseer? There is no plugin available, scripting is a problem as well. Spotify don’t have his API ready to achieve this. I use the Android app “Tasker” a lot the last year. I’ve several tablets and even a mobile from with Android. With Tasker you.

Galaxy S9 / S10

Battery optimization is turned on by default. At some unclear moments (maybe on app update, OS update?), the settings also do revert back to the defaults, forcing you to turn them off again and again.Below are walkthrough screenshots for Galaxy S10. Please let us know your feedback about whether it works for S9 (or others) as well. Thanks!

Sleeping apps

Tasker Kill App

Sleeping apps menu is the sniper’s nest for Samsung’s app killing policies. Make sure to follow the instructions very carefully to prevent the apps from being killed.

Checklist:

  • Disable Put unused apps to sleep
  • Disable Auto-disable unused apps
  • Remove your app from the list of sleeping apps
  • Disable background restrictions for your app
Warning: Make sure Put unused apps to sleep and Auto-disable unused apps is disabled. Otherwise, Samsung will put your apps back to sleep after a few days (3 by default) even if you have woken them up manually!

Galaxy S8 (j6ltedx) and later

With the introduction of their flagship Galaxy S8 (and with some earlier experiments), Samsung has introduced a flawed attempt at prolonging battery life called App power monitor.

For your apps to work correctly, please whitelist them in App power monitor.

How to do it:

Open the Settings > Device maintenance > Battery and at the bottom you’ll see a list of your most frequently used apps. You can manage apps individually or in a group by selecting them then tapping the big Save power button. Apps that are sleeping will appear in the Sleeping apps list at the bottom (tap it to expand the list). Scrolling further — all the way to the very bottom — and you’ll find Unmonitored apps. These are apps that you specifically want to exclude (whitelist) from App power monitor evil reach.

When inside the Unmonitored apps menu, you can tap the 3-dot menu to add or delete apps from the list. Rather than bothering with any of that, you can just turn off the App power monitor feature completely as it has little-to-no impact on battery life and only serves to handicap the normal functioning of your Galaxy device.

It’s excessive and in some cases downright misleading, using scare tactics to keep you reliant on Samsung’s software when other Android devices get by just fine without it.

On other Samsung phones, the path may look like this:

Phone settings > Applications > select three dot menu (top right corner) > Special Access > Optimize Battery usage > Find your app on the list and make sure that it is not selected.

Note: If you enable “Edge Lighting” for your app, the app will not be able to wake up your screen. To allow your app to wake up your screen, please remove it from the Edge Lighting applications list.

I use the Android app “Tasker” a lot the last year. I’ve several tablets and even a mobile from with Android. With Tasker you can automate events or task on a Android device.

Tasker Kill App Spotify Subscription

First setup the Tasker plugin in Homeseer(3) to controll the Android device: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=158888

In this case you can create task to set a certain volume level of the Android device:

App
  • Create a new Task and set the name in capital letters and without spaces, like “VOL60”. When this task will be run, the volume will be set to level 6.
  • Add an Action
  • Choose “Audio”
  • Select “Media Volume”
  • Change the slider to the desired level, in this case “6”
  • Select in the top left corner the “<” icon, to go back to the previous screen
  • The selected acgtion is now visible in the task “Media Volume – Level 6”.
  • Select in the top left corner the “<” icon, to go back to the previous screen
  • The task is now created.

When a Task or Profile is created or changed, Tasker has to be closed first to save the settings.

Tasker Kill App No Root

  • Press the 3 dots in the upper right corner
  • Choose “Exit”
  • Select “Save First”

In my Homeseer set I created a virtual device that can control the volume of one of the Spotify clients:

To control Spotify from Homeseer you have to create also tasks to Play/Stop the Spotify app. I added also trasks to switch to the Next and Previous track.

In case you want to start Playing Spotify, create a new Task:

  • Create a Task and set a name in CAPITAL_LETTERS without spaces, like “SPOTIFY_PLAY”
  • Choose “System”
  • Choose “Send Intent”
  • At the top by “Action, enter without quotes: “com.spotify.mobile.android.ui.widget.PLAY”
  • Scroll down to Package, choose “com.spotify.music”
  • Scroll down to Target, choose “Broadcast Receiver”.
  • Save task

Test your task with the Play icon in the left corner. If Spotify resume playing, you can continue with Homeseer.

  • Exit tasker and save your settings.

To run this task from Homeseer:

  • In Homeseer, create an event.
  • or example: Manually triggered
  • Choose Control device
  • Select your Tasker device.
  • Choose for CUSTOM CODE
  • Set device string to the exact Task name you created earlier in the Tasker app (like “VOL60” or “SPOTIFY_PLAY”).
  • Save the event and run it.

You can create tasks as well for:
