Hi there,
I want to do the following:
Determine the volume level of an entity, decrease the volume level of that entity slowly, change playlist and increase the volume level of the determined volume level.
May anybody help me here?
Thanks a lot!

AFAIK unlike with lights, for volume we do not have a transition time within HomeAssistant. So that means, you will have to do it manually.
I use this in my AlarmClock to slowly fade my speakers volume higher:

Basically what i do there:
First i define a variable with the volume. The Volume will then be incremented up based on a repeating timer (i.e.: every 20sec). I believe in the meantime you can also just call the volume_up service that didnt exist in the past. That should make it even easier.
Hi Marcus,
I will give it a try and post the whole project (when it’s working) in the “Share your projects!” section!
Thanks at the moment for your help!
