Flow description

Spotify Track Display for AWTRIX NG (TC002)

The app runs in the background and checks Spotify every 10 seconds. When the track changes, it displays a notification featuring an icon, the track title, and the artist. You can customize the icon ID, text colors, and display duration in the app settings.

You need three Spotify values ​​for the setup:

  1. Client ID and Client Secret: Create an app in the Spotify Developer Dashboard. You will find both values ​​in the settings for that Spotify app.
  2. Refresh Token: Grant your Spotify app access to your account once. To do this, use the Spotify Authorization Code Flow with the user-read-currently-playing scope. You will receive the refresh_token when exchanging the authorization code for tokens. It is not listed in the Developer Dashboard.
  3. Enter all three values ​​into the AWTRIX app settings. The script will subsequently handle the renewal of the short-lived access token automatically.

Spotify apps in "Development Mode" require the app owner to have a Premium subscription. The refresh token expires after six months, at which point you will need to re-authorize the account. Treat the Client Secret and Refresh Token like passwords.
