Bluesound volume limited to 6

Configuration
1

Hi,
I’m a happy user of the Bluesound integration. But i’m facing a problem with the volume_up media player service. It does not go higher than 6. I can use the volume slider in the media player card and choose any volume. But when I use the volume+ button or the media_player.volume_up sevice, it never exceeds 6. When I use the slider to go past 6, than volume_up works again. But once it is below 6 again, it can not go beyond. Anyone with the same behaviour?

Hi Manu,

Look in the Bluesound app under settings → player → audio → limits. Maby there’s your problem?

Hi Thekholm,

Thanks for your suggestion, but I checked and have no limits configured on my different players (I forgot to mention in my previous post that all my Bluesound players have the same behaviour).

I have the exact same issue with my Bluesound Flex 2i. Just had a look and there are no limits set to the volume either in the Bluesound app. Using the buttons in the Bluesound Android app this issue doesn’t occur, but it does increase it by 2% instead of 1% per click.

@ManuZ have you ever been able to solve this issue?

Here’s my “beautiful” fix:

if:
  - condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: media_player.bluesound_werkkamer
    attribute: volume_level
    above: 0.05
    below: 0.07
then:
  - action: media_player.volume_set
    metadata: {}
    data:
      volume_level: 0.07
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.bluesound_werkkamer
else:
  - data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.bluesound_werkkamer
    action: media_player.volume_up
    enabled: true

Hi FireFly,

No, unfortunately I could not find a proper fix. If I remember well (it’s been a while :wink:), my workaround was to configure a maximum volume limit on my Bluesound players. Since volume in HA is expressed in % of the max volume, I now have to go way beyond 6 to adjust the volume to my liking. This way, I don’t have to adjust in the lower range. Not elegant, but I don’t face the problem anymore.
