which code are you referring to? haven’t changed anything lately.
what is the reason to group the entities?
ah sorry I thought you modify your code in for several posts.
Don’t know if that’s possible. I recommend you to use node red, it is much easier when scripts/flows get more complicated.
How do you show this controls on Lovelace ui?
You should be able to use media control card;
Or the custom mini media player card;
Hi thanks, it looks like i had a miss configuration with the input selects.
Hi,
How would you tweak this one;
I went with the original code and everything seem to work perfectly, with my Google Home and my Chromecast. But one problem I came across, was when trying to stream audio to my chromecast that is connected to my AVR. When I select “media_player.denon_chromecast_audio” then it will try to stream to that device and probably also does. Unfortunately my AVR doesn’t turn on, nor the Zone where I want to “Living Room”.
If I add the media_player.turn_on in the script below, then it will just always turn it on, no matter what media player I select.
Does anyone have a good approach (sorry if I have missed a post where this already have been addressed).
script:
afspil_radio:
alias: Play Radio Audio Unit
sequence:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
entity_id: media_player.home_assistant_stue
volume_level: '0.20'
- service: media_player.play_media
data_template:
entity_id: >
{% if is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "Living Room") %} media_player.home_assistant_stue
{% elif is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "Bathroomn") %} media_player.denon_chromecast_audio
{% elif is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "All") %} media_player.all_rooms
{% endif %}

{% elif is_state("input_select.radio_station", "Dinamo.FM Sleep") %} http://channels.dinamo.fm/sleep-aac
{% endif %}
media_content_type: 'audio/mp4'
EDIT:
I solved it by putting in the below code just after the media_player.play_media
- service: media_player.turn_on
data_template:
entity_id: >
{% if is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "Stue") %} media_player.stue_kokken
{% elif is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "Bade") %} media_player.badevaerelser
{% elif is_state("input_select.chromecast_radio", "Alle Rum") %} media_player.stue_kokken, media_player.badevaerelser
{% endif %}

Cool, thanks for sharing. I’ve modified this to work with Node-RED 
writeup coming.
Currently all Google Home speakers (5 x Mini, 1 Regular and 1 Hub) but this should work with any
media_player device that supports playing streams.
hi guys,
After the last update to 0.105 i got an error in the selection of the radio stations:
Unknown type encountered: entities.
entity: input_select.radio_station type: entities
any solution ?
thanks
I’ve not upgraded to 0.105 but will defo keep an eye on it and report back when I upgrade this weekend
Hi, I’v got the same problem as you. In my.
I ended up with using a custom card: Group card from Hacs
- type: custom:group-card
card:
type: entities
title: Radio
show_header_toggle: false
group: group.radio
Hope this can healp you
First off…Thanks for taking the time and packaging this up! I sincerely appreciate the simplicity of a package for something like this…So I got this setup and working…sorta. I modified a couple things to get it to play with my Sonos setup.
I have one question for anyone?? I was under the impression that when I would change any inputs (ie Radio Station, Speakers, Volume) that it would dynamically adjust accordingly. Is it normal to have to press “Play” after making a change to volume, Speakers, or Station to get the script to update?
Perhaps I set it up wrong. Any input would be appreciated! thanks again!
I’m not sure which version you have (there have been several iterations), but most likely yes you would have to press play for the change to take effect.
If you want the change to take effect straight away, you need to add an automation that triggers on input_select and calls the script
- alias: Change Radio Station
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: state
entity: input_select.radio_station
action:
- service: script.turn_on
data:
entity_id: script.radio538

Has anyone figured out a way to display “media_title:” and “media_artist:” as a part of the player?
Yes, but since you’re looking at radio streams you first need to retrieve that data (if it’s even available) using scrape sensors
Have a look here
Can someone help me with this. I am New to Hassio an would like to get this to work. I have everything in my config files but dont know how to get this to show up in lovelace. Can someone please guide me on that part
