Unless the Echo Auto is also a dashcam, you'd kind of being kicking yourself in the teeth as I assume you bought the camera for its cam functions first and Alexa second?
So no Spotify compatibility in the near future? I just bought this camera (still unopened) so wondering if I should just return it and wait for the Echo Auto to be released here in Canada.
Well it's a workaround but it works. Here is my test video:
I can also say "Spotify Back" to go back a song. I can't search for a specific song. So far I've created the following commands:
It only works if Spotify is already open on my phone. This is due to the fact that HomeAssistant (my smarthome hub) doesn't see my phone as a device until Spotify is opened. So a workaround is using something like Android Auto to automatically open it (Android Auto can be set to automatically open when phone is connected to vehicles Bluetooth), but I need to test that.

Bought a 522GW and have to say it wasn't very inspiring trying to set-up, didnt feel like a premium device at a software level, but after a lot of messing with resetting and bluetooth I'm coming round to liking it.
Two biggie issues for me.
1. You can't pair (I dont mean connect) more than one phone
2. My Alexa and echos are setup to play Spotify, this camera cant control/play spotify. I understand this is probably an Alexa app issue as their app sees the device as an accessory not an "amazon device"
If I had known this I may have just got a 322GW for £20-£30 less and alexa not playing spotify, but polarised filter would have probably swung me back to 522GW
