Error in media.player.join in script

Configuration
1

Hi
new to working with YAML and home assistant
was trying to create a simple script that would join 3 Sosnos speakers together, play a station, and also set the room temperature.

when I try to save the script, I get “extra keys not allowed @ data[‘sequence’][0][‘group_members’]” Also, it looks exactly like the documentation says it should work.

Appreciate any help

This is the script

alias: Gym Setup
sequence:
  - service: media_player.join
    group_members:
      - media_player.dining_room
      - media_player.living_room
    entity_id:
      - media_player.kitchen
      
  - service: media_player.play_media
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.kitchen
    data:
      media_content_id: FV:2/2
      media_content_type: favorite_item_id
    metadata:
      title: Galgalatz 91.8 FM
      thumbnail: https://static.radio.de/images/broadcasts/e4/07/10506/2/c175.png
      media_class: genre
      children_media_class: null
      navigateIds:
        - {}
        - media_content_type: favorites
          media_content_id: ""
        - media_content_type: favorites_folder
          media_content_id: object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    metadata: {}
    data:
      temperature: 7
    target:
      entity_id:
        - climate.kitchen
        - climate.living_room
        - climate.dining_room
mode: restart

Are you missing a data:?

  - service: media_player.join
    data:
      group_members:
        - media_player.dining_room
        - media_player.living_room
      entity_id:
        - media_player.kitchen

Hi
that doesnt make any difference still getting the error

Looking at the structure of that service call in Developer Tools / Services, it looks like it’s expecting:

- service: media_player.join
  target:
    entity_id: media_player.kitchen
  data:
    group_members:
      - media_player.dining_room
      - media_player.living_room

The docs also warn “Only works on supported multiroom audio systems”. Can you successfully run the join command from the Developer Tools / Services screen?

YAML mode:

UI mode:

(inconsistent rendering of entities because I have a Bedroom and Dining Room media player in my system, but not a Living Room)

it works on the developer tools as a stand alone but as soon as I coy and paste to the script under sequence I get the error

Indentation is horribly wrong on that screenshot. In YAML, indentation is critical.

fixed indentation but still have the error

script:
    alias: Gym Setup
       sequence:
          - service: media_player.join
            data: 
              group_members:
                - media_player.living_room
                - media_player.dining_room
            target:
              entity_id: media_player.kitchen

          - service: media_player.play_media
            target:
            entity_id: media_player.kitchen
            data:

Still a few oddities:

  • If you’re pasting into the Script Editor, you don’t need the script at the start.
  • alias and the sequences should be at the same level
  • entity_id not indented in play_media
  • target over-indented in set_temperature

This works when pasted into Settings / Scripts / Add Script (switch to YAML mode):

alias: Gym setup
sequence:
  - service: media_player.join
    data:
      group_members:
        - media_player.living_room
        - media_player.dining_room
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.kitchen
  - service: media_player.play_media
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.kitchen
    data:
      media_content_id: FV:2/2
      media_content_type: favorite_item_id
      metadata: null

      media_class: genre
      children_media_class: null
      navigateIds:
        - {}
        - media_content_type: favorites
        - media_content_id: ""
        - media_content_type: favorites_folder
        - media_content_id: object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    target:
      entity_id:
        - climate.kitchen
        - climate.living_room
        - climate.dining_room
    data:
      temperature: 7
