Just thought folks would want to know In Home Assitant v0.45 dev as of a few days ago baloob has added parameters to the remote.send-command to allow repeated commands to be sent as well as a delay between sends. Just successfully turned up and down the volume on my receiver with Amazon Echo using the following simple srcipts:
volume_up:
alias: Volume Up
sequence:
- service: remote.send_command
data:
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
command: VolumeUp
device: 41849703
num_repeats: 5
delay_secs: 0.25
volume_down:
alias: Volume Down
sequence:
- service: remote.send_command
data:
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
command: VolumeDown
device: 41849703
num_repeats: 5
delay_secs: 0.25
I’m guessing one could also stick a template in there to support parameterized volume adjustment amount but 5 seems like a useful amount for my system.
