This project is to display spotify cover art on 64x64 led matrix from the Spotify web api. When not playing music it should display weather information.
Note: For smaller displays you might want to rearrange the weather display elements. If you have trouble doing that just open an issue with your idea and I'll see what I can do.
- Create a new application within the Spotify developer dashboard
- Edit the settings of the application within the dashboard.
- Set the redirect uri to any local url such as http://127.0.0.1/callback
- Before logging into the raspberry pi, you will need to generate an authentication token.
- To do this, you are going to want to clone my spotipi repository on your main computer with access to a web browser.
git clone https://github.com/frod0r/spotipi-homeassistant.git
- Next go ahead and change into the directory using
cd spotipi
- Run the generate token script and enter the prompted spotify credentials using
bash generate-token.sh
- This will generate a file named
.cache-<username> - You are going to want to scp this file over to your raspberry pi, for example:
scp .cache-<username> pi@spotipy.local:/home/pi
- Get yourself some openweathermap credentials by registering an account and heading over to the api keys section (the onecall-api we use is included in the free default api key)
- Enter your location data and api-key in
config/rgb_options.ini. - On the Raspberry Pi, setup the LED-Matrix, following the guide provided by the rpi-led-matrix project if you are using an adafruit hat, also have a look at their guide
- Set up pyhton3 bindings following this guide. Confirm it working by executing one of the python samples
- Clone the spotipi repository to your raspberrypi
git clone https://github.com/jbrede/spotipi-homeassistant.git
- Move the token file to the repository root
mv <path_to_cache_file> <path_to_cloned_repository>
- Install the systemd-units:
cd spotipi
sudo ./setup.sh
- Set up mqtt in home assistant if you haven't already and let it discover your smart led martix
