ADB volume_set (Nvidia Shield)

Configuration
1

I’ve had an automation to set the volume to a certain level on the Nvidia Shield, and it quit working sometime back. I thought my ADB configuration had stopped working, but testing it today everything works EXCEPT setting the volume to a certain level (either through volume_set or via the slider in the UI). I.e. I can turn up/down/mute the volume but not set it to a certain level any more. It appear to work as far as HA is concerned (no error in the log) but the TV volume does not change.

Any pointers?

service: media_player.volume_set
data:
  volume_level: 0.75
target:
  entity_id: media_player.bedroom_android_tv_adb

Well I figured out a workaround on my own. I created a script that’s a direct replacement for volume_set:

choose:
  - conditions:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ state_attr(entity_id, 'volume_level')|float > volume_level }}"
    sequence:
      - repeat:
          while:
            - condition: template
              value_template: >-
                {{ state_attr(entity_id, 'volume_level')|float > volume_level|float }}
          sequence:
            - service: media_player.volume_down
              data:
                entity_id: "{{entity_id}}"
default:
  - repeat:
      while:
        - condition: template
          value_template: >-
            {{ state_attr(entity_id, 'volume_level')|float < volume_level|float}}
      sequence:
        - service: media_player.volume_up
          data:
            entity_id: "{{entity_id}}"

Hey @TarheelGrad1998 mind posting the whole script? I’m not familiar with the ‘choose’ part yet.
