Automating volume control of Denon receiver (Denonavr integration)

Hello there,

I’m relatively new to HA and have thus far managed to get all of my devices set up and a number of integrations configured, and I’m building out some automations.

I have a Denon AV receiver that is connected via the denonavr integration. I can see in the HA dashboard a volume control for the device, but I can’t figure out what option I need to select in an automation action to set the volume to a specific level, only on/off. I haven’t yet delved into YAML and have set up all of my automations via the GUI - I feel like there’s something obvious I’m missing here that would allow the action to be created.

Any pointers on what I’ve missed?

Have you read the documentation? There is quite a lot of info there with links to how to control the AVR
Denon AVR Network Receivers - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)

I read through it but missed the part about the volume control! For anybody else who came across the same issue, the action to use is the Media Player: Set Volume option under “call service”. It was the “call service” that confused me!

Thanks for your help!

A bit of a necro, but wanted to post here toi add on, as someone doing a similar automation, if the automation is otherwise ‘working’ when forced to run, and it "isnt ‘triggering’ " the issue is that the request times out to change volume, etc. as the first action send an ‘on’ command and it will allow the system to respond properly
