I'm trying to make my AppleTV turn on every morning at 9AM and play Spotify. My AppleTV is connected to the TV and my TV is connected to my Sony speakers. I tried making a shortcut on my iPhone telling Siri to play Spotify on AppleTV, but she says that she don't know which speaker I'm referring to. Does that mean that I'll need a HomePod? Will it work with HomePod Mini? Thanks!
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15
I was able to do it without HomePod. I just had to connect my AppleTV to my iPhone's Home app and then I was able to tell Siri to play Spotify on AppleTV.
After that I made this shortcut in the Shortcuts app:
And after that I made this Automation in the Shortcuts app (to run at 08:59AM daily):
The only downside of this approach is that it only plays the same song every morning since Spotify doesn't have Shortcuts integration yet and I had use the workaround to open the track URL from the browser (in the shortcut) so it can open and play from Spotify. The good thing is that I can easily change the songs from my phone since it actually plays Spotify from my phone.
Making AppleTV wake up and play music from Spotify?
