Planning to make Focus-variable Shortcut. For example, if current Focus is Sleep, then action button toggles bedroom lights. If current Focus is Work, then action button connects to Bluetooth speaker and plays Spotify.
How can you order it to play Spotify?
There's a trick. First, say Hey Siri play spotify [Playlist name / radio]. Siri will start playing it. Now when you open Shortcuts and search your actions for Spotify, it'll be listed temporarily. You can then incorporate that into your Shortcut.
Wow, thanks! I will try it. It’s so weird that Spotify won’t officially support everything iOS can do. It’s right there for them to integrate and it would make Spotify so much better for everyone, but they just won’t.
