Getting media player source in node red current state node?

liminal · May 25, 2023, 4:48am

Hey all,

How can I use the current state node to drill down on a media player and check the source? I was thinking something like like this

But it just says playing regardless of the source

Thanks

Hope this helps someone; its

$entity().attributes.source = “iPhone”

Cool thanks for that.

I’m using this to do follow me music, it just checks though some media players/ speaker groups and my phone and if none are playing. It switches the source depending on which motion sensor picked me up
