ESPHome RTTTL passive buzzer volume control?

ESPHome

In the output configuration, use max_power.

# Example configuration entry
output:
  - platform: ...
    id: my_output_id
    max_power: 0.75
24

Max_power does not appear to do anything, at least not on an 8266

This is my RTTTL include file working on several D1 minis, a 8285 device and several ESP32s.

substitutions:
  # default, can be overwritten
  buzzer_platform: esp8266_pwm
  buzzer_port: D5

Hope it helps. LMK.

Thank you for sharing this. This was the only thing I found that worked after debugging for a few hours.
