''' Notes '''
 +
 
 +
* If Spotify is not installed, a warning will be displayed when configuring this trigger with a link to install it
 +
* The trigger listens for Spotify-specific broadcast intents: playbackstatechanged, metadatachanged, and queuechanged
 +
* The "Device Broadcast Status" setting in Spotify controls whether these broadcasts are sent
 +
* This trigger only works with the official Spotify app, not Spotify Lite or web player
 +
* Some metadata may not be available depending on Spotify's current broadcast implementation
