Input Number/Volume Slider for Yamaha Receiver & Google home

[petro]

Ok, I made this alittle less convoluted. You should only need 2 sliders and 4 automations. You won’t need any sensors.

These are your sliders:

  google_home:
    name: Goggle Home Volume
    initial: 40
    min: 0
    max: 100
    step: 1
    
  home_cinema_main:
    name: Cinema Volume
    initial: 40
    min: 0
    max: 100
    step: 1

These are you automations:

- alias: Set Goggle Home Slider Position
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.google_home
  condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ not is_state_attr('media_player.google_home', 'volume_level', states('input_number.google_home') | int / 100) }}"
  action:
    - service: input_number.set_value
      entity_id: input_number.google_home
      data_template:
        value: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.volume_level | multiply(100) | int }}"

- alias: Set Goggle Home Volume
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_number.google_home
  condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ not is_state_attr('media_player.google_home', 'volume_level', states('input_number.google_home') | int / 100) }}"
  action:
    - service: media_player.volume_set
      entity_id: media_player.google_home
      data_template:
        volume_level: "{{ states('input_number.google_home') | int / 100 }}"

- alias: Set Home Cinema Main Slider Position
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.home_cinema_main
  condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ not is_state_attr('media_player.home_cinema_main', 'volume_level', states('input_number.home_cinema_main') | int / 100) }}"
  action:
    - service: input_number.set_value
      entity_id: input_number.home_cinema_main
      data_template:
        value: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.volume_level | multiply(100) | int }}"

- alias: Set Home Cinema Main Volume
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: input_number.home_cinema_main
  condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ not is_state_attr('media_player.home_cinema_main', 'volume_level', states('input_number.home_cinema_main') | int / 100) }}"
  action:
    - service: media_player.volume_set
      entity_id: media_player.home_cinema_main
      data_template:
        volume_level: "{{ states('input_number.home_cinema_main') | int / 100 }}"

This should be easier to read and has less listeners. You can keep your sensors if you want, but they aren’t needed at this point.

Also, your sliders should react immediately instead of having a 2 second delay.

check my last message, I accidentally replied to myself.

[Romquenin]

hello, i just pasted your code and it breaks the sliders, i still have some errors also

I willl revert back to the previous config.

Thanks anyway.

[petro]

did you rename your sliders? The sliders in the pasted code go with the sliders I created in my last post. They do not work with your sliders with _volume at the end

[petro]

Also, there are no errors related to the sliders in the log, that error calls out the custom ui html doc

[Romquenin]

ok i didnt know.

wait i will retry

[Romquenin]

Petro thank you very much it Works but partialy.

Google home perfect!

Yamaha the volume is truning down to 0 by itself if i move the slider

No automation errors on the log but the yamaha slider is broken

Thanks

[petro]

not sure, they should work the same. Check for typos in the code i pasted. For your information, the code I posted is not bullet proof. Home assistant will error if you move the slider when the media_player is off.

[Romquenin]

Thanks petro i doubled checked the typo and everything seems correct.

I don’t understand.

[petro]

follow the code, something is setting the value to zero. Do you have old automations in your automation section?

[Romquenin]

No i just checked again, i have nothing that could make the volume of the receiver going down to 0.

It’s crazy because the code you posted works fine excepted this

[anon35356645]

works fantastic, also in hadashboard. Thanks!!!

I know this is an old post, but is there a good solution to avoiding the error?

what’s the error exactly, word for word

@petro

what’s the error exactly, word for word

I have a couple of problems.
I am using the Yamaha TSR7850. When I just implement your code from:

Harmony Activities, Volume Slider, and Lovelace

Hello everyone, I’ve been getting quite a few messages about my harmony setup, so I decided to create this post to give it more visibility. I attempted to create a ‘minimalist’ approach to an interface that works identical to the harmony remotes activities. That being, when one activity is turned on, all others are off. This functionality is built into the harmony remote and it can be quite difficult to replicate in the Home Assistant user interface. The second thing to note here is that I a…

I get the following error:
Error during template condition: UndefinedError: 'mappingproxy object' has no attribute 'volume_level'
Also, my receiver has the following states: off, idle & playing, so your code didn’t function as intended out of the box. The state buttons didn’t show when the receiver was on. I have tried to change the code to the following:
- platform: template
switches:

    # 
- platform: template
  switches:
    # ZONE 1 MEDIA SWITCH
    zone_1:
      value_template: "{{ not is_state('media_player.yamaha_receiver', 'off') }}"
      turn_on:
        service: media_player.turn_on
        entity_id: media_player.yamaha_receiver
      turn_off:
        service: media_player.turn_off
        entity_id: media_player.yamaha_receiver
    # ZONE 2 MEDIA SWITCH
    zone_2:
      value_template: "{{ not is_state('media_player.yamaha_receiver_zone_2', 'off') }}"
      turn_on:
        service: media_player.turn_on
        entity_id: media_player.yamaha_receiver_zone_2
      turn_off:
        service: media_player.turn_off
        entity_id: media_player.yamaha_receiver_zone_2

That made the state switches work, but nothing happens when I move the volume sliders.It moves but doesn’t change the volume.

Any ideas?

@AZDane

Error during template condition: UndefinedError: ‘mappingproxy object’ has no attribute ‘volume_level’

for this error add a condition in the volume automations that verifies that the state isn’t off.

@AZDane

That made the state switches work, but nothing happens when I move the volume sliders.It moves but doesn’t change the volume.

Any ideas?

I just threw those equations together for that post. I actually don’t use it, I use appdeamon. Someone else came accross my post recently and I had found errors in the equations.

These are the updated equations and they should work. You may need to remove the condition.

Thanks,

Got rid of the error, but couldn’t quite get the Conditions to work, so I removed them.

[Bartley69]

I had this working perfectly but since updating my hassio to the latest version it doesn’t work anymore. Any idea what I have to change? I had it working perfectly from the initial instructions.

Cheers.

@AZDane

Error during template condition: UndefinedError: ‘mappingproxy object’ has no attribute ‘volume_level’

@petro

for this error add a condition in the volume automations that verifies that the state isn’t off.

is there an example for this condition available? i have this too

edit:
nl, added below, and error gone

  condition:
    - condition: template
      value_template: '{{ not is_state("media_player.denon_avrx4000", "off") }}'

[petro]

Yep, that’s the condition that I would have used.
