This button also automatically triggers every hour to keep Spotify awake. If you notice any issues, such as your playback skipping by a few seconds, you can open this button and disable all its commands.

You may need to manually wake up Spotify via regular Spotify player if you notice it's not responding to SAMMI commands.

Examples of channel point redeem messages:
