Home Assistant custom component to start Spotify playback on an idle chromecast device
This component is not meant to be a full Spotify chromecast media_player but only serves to start the playback. Controlling the chromcast device and the Spotify playback after the initial start is done in their respective components. Becasue starting playback using the API requires more powerful token the username and password used for browser login is used.
