Setting Connect device #136

Am I right in thinking that it is possible to ask Mycroft what devices are available, but that there is no way to actually change the active device? Any reason not to include this? If it's just a matter of finding the time, I'll submit a PR.

I'd be happy to accept a PR with improved functionality for selecting device.

Currently you can set the preferred playback device on in the skill settings on home and you can ask mycroft to transfer playback to a specific device. It can seean simple way forward by extending the on spotify check to accept any device name and attach that to the response data.

The cps_start method could then just use device id from data or get the default player the current way if it's missing in the message

Ah, I missed that setting - that does most of what I want for now.

But I'll still look into this when I can.
