Sync hue lights with Spotify, running under OSX

Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

- at Sunset, any lights that are on, dim
- a few seconds later, kickoff a pre recorded message I created and is stored under 'local files' in Spotify
- after the message a song is played on Spotify
- lights synced to the song playing on Spotify
- close the 'sync lights' app or stop the app
- resume previous playlist

I've figured out almost everything but syncing the lights to Spotify. I tried a few apps:
- iLightshow, but it can't save the preset under the OSX version
- Neon, looks like it relies on the microphone vs directly connecting to the streaming service
- Luminair, might be a possibility, uses Home vs Indigo but for this project, it might be OK. Maybe I can still start/stop Home and Luminair from scripts executed under Indigo
- I looked at Hue Sync (desktop) and can't quite figure out if I need the HueSync hardware.

Thoughts appreciated!

Figured it out. Might not be the best solution but Hue Sync does the trick. I t was a bit quirky to get it to work with Airfoil though.
