How do I stop Spotify (intentionally)

keeps99 — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 14:17:44 GMT

I have an Automation set to "Open the bar" - that sets my lights and starts playing Spotify.

I'm trying to create a sister routine called "Closing Time" - that shuts off the lights, announces "Closing Time" and stops Spotify.

How do I automate stopping Spotify? There's no commands in the list to STOP the music.

Any ideas? Thanks, folks!

Hi keeps99,

Thanks for visiting the Google Nest Community.

Try this:

From your “Closing Time” routine, tap + Add action.
Scroll down and choose Try adding your own.
Type in the command: Stop music.
- Note: all other actions/commands not available in the routine’s action settings, you can manually add it using this option.

Let me know if it works.

Kind Regards,
Alex
