Match Sonos Playbar volume with TV volume

Configuration
1

Hello,

This is a copy of : Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: expected float for dictionary value @ data['value']

I tried to build this automation myself but I’m doing something wrong…

alias: TV volume sync
description: Match TV Vol to Sonos Playbar when TV Vol has Changed
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55b16la
conditions:
  - condition: template
    value_template: >-
      value: "{{ states.input_number.tv_kamer_volume.state !=
      states.media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55b16la.attributes.volume_level}}"
actions:
  - action: media_player.volume_set
    metadata: {}
    data:
      volume_level: "{{ states.input_number.living_room_volume.state }}"
    target:
      device_id: 0d0ffcda13e1a81ff2961ce9d23f51ac
mode: single

I have created 2 sensors to help me further, but I don’t know if I really need them:

sensors:
      LG_volume:
        value_template: >
          {{ state_attr('media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55b16la', 'volume_level') }}

sensors:
      playbar_volume:
        value_template: >
          {{ state_attr('media_player.tv_kamer', 'volume_level') }}

These sensors pass me the correct information.

Playbar volume: 18
LG volume: 8

I want to sync my Playbar volume with my LG volume.

Any help would be appreciated.

regards,
Ward

Hoping to get some response, I can’t find a solution :frowning:

Try this:

  - condition: template
      value_template: >-
        {{ states.input_number.tv_kamer_volume.state !=
        states.media_player.lg_webos_tv_oled55b16la.attributes.volume_level }}

or remove the condition rule completely to test whether the Sonos soundbar takes over the volume of the TV.

Hello,

Deleting the " " got me a step further.

In traces I now have:
