Playback Setup Guide

Note: Spotify Premium is required.

Step 1: Create a Spotify App

1. Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard and log in.

Important: Open the dev dashboard in Safari/Chrome/desktop, not inside the Pebble app.
If using mobile browser: You may need to set your browser zoom to 50% to see the "Create App" button.

2. Click Create App.

3. Fill in the details:

App name: anything you like (e.g. "My Playback")
App description: anything (e.g. "Pebble music control")
Redirect URI: paste the URL below exactly:

https://alex523ap.github.io/playback_config/

4. Under Which API/SDKs are you planning to use?, select Web API.

5. Check the Terms of Service box and click Save.

6. Go to User Management and add your Spotify account email to the allowed list. (You can also add up to 5 friends with Spotify Premium so they can use your Client ID too!)

Step 2: Copy Your Client ID

7. On your new app's page, click Settings.

8. Copy the Client ID shown at the top. It looks like: a1b2c3d4e5f6...

Important: You do NOT need the Client Secret. Playback uses PKCE authentication which doesn't require a secret.

Step 3: Enter It in Playback

9. Open the Playback settings on your phone (Pebble app → Playback → Settings).

10. Paste your Client ID into the Spotify Client ID field at the top of the login page.

11. Tap Log in with Spotify and authorize the app.

That's it!

Your Pebble will now connect to Spotify using your own app credentials with no user limit.
