I won't be adding playlist support to homebridge-music, but homebridge-music supports any music player that can be controlled through Applescript. It's easy to create another Applescript script that plays a playlist instead of a track. These scripts install to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-music/scripts.

Best copy iTunes.applescript to MyScript.applescript and open it (double click in the finder, or use open MyScript.applescript from the command line). Change the setPlayerOn function to play playlist t instead of play track t. Compile the script using make MyScript.scpt and specify "script": "MyScript" in config.json.
