Spotify over chromecast
Post Body

What I am trying to do is tell my Google Home to play music and then have it perform the following actions.

  1. Turn on my chromecast enabled TV
  2. Wait for the TV and built in chromecast to connect to WiFi
  3. Start streaming music from Spotify to the TV.

I have already got it working to turn on the TV with a TPLink smart plug. This is working ok. I then have a 1 min time delay which I will tweak to less as soon as I have a working flow to find the right delay needed.

The part I am not sure of is now to get Spotify to play. I am unable to locate Spotify in Stingify and the only listing for Spotify in IFTTT is to add item to a playlist or save a track.

At the moment I have it setup so that I tell my Google home to turn on the TV and then tell it a second command to play music. The play music command is setup as a shortcut in the Google Home app to "play Discover Weekly from Spotify on Living room TV". I would just prefer to give my Google Home one command and have it do both things on its own.

Am I missing something in my flow? Is this even possible?
