Hi! I am new to home assistant, so sorry in advance if it’s a stupid question, i have tried searching for it with no luck… I would like to write a script that is triggered when a service is run, read the parameters passed to that service and use them to trigger other services. in particular i wou…

As far as I know, you can’t. But if you explain your issue with volume then we can probably help you

ah that sucks, i really thought that was something that we could do. my issue with volume is that i am trying to use this card with a volume slider GitHub - usernein/tv-card: 📺 TV Remote Card (with touchpad and haptic feedback) that slider doesn’t seem to work properly with my receiver, ranges don…

you could potentially use something like this: [image] Media_player.template Custom Integrations Hi everyone, I’m using the very nice App ControllerX ( ControllerX. Bring full functionality to light and media player controllers ) to control the volume of the current playing…

thank you i will have a look. i actually figured out that that remote card is pointing to an older version of the slider here: my-cards/docs/cards/slider.md at aea9acaaef7317e851a3745356721575b66dcfaa · AnthonMS/my-cards · GitHub but the configuration with min and max is still not working for me, …

You can not catch a service call, but you can catch a change in the state the service call target, so look at the volume state instead.

by the way, that tv remote has largely been abandoned i think. you might want to take a look at @Nerwyn 's fork of it: [image] Releases · Nerwyn/android-tv-card Universal Customizable TV Remote Card, with HA actions, super configurable touchpad, slider, haptics, and keyboard - Nerwyn/…

thank you i will have a look at that android tv card as well! i think my problem is that the media_player volume_set 1.0 only sets “40.0” on my receiver when the max volume is around 85, not sure how to remap that…

In that case it’s an issue with the integration to the receiver

yeah figured it out, i had to add some scripts to query the actual max volume for my onkyo and change the configuration.yaml, weirdly enough the value was 164 (on display it shows around 85db), now everything seems to work fine :slight_smile: thank you everyone!

How to write a script that intercepts a service call?

you could potentially use something like this:

to create a media_player.template which wraps your real media_player but then lets you override the set_volume and do whatever you want with it.
