Multiple if else's in automation or another way?

[Matt_Barnes]

Just starting to get my head round automations and I have one that at the press of a button IF my sonos is paused, it plays, and if it plays it pauses which is great.

Next step is to emply another button on my switch to scroll through sources, so something like this.

if playlist 1 is playing and button is pressed play playlist 2.
if playlist 2 is playing and button is pressed, play playlist 3
if playlist 3 is playing and button is pressed, play playlist 4

I have about 10 playlists, and the thought of a massive if else blew my mind, so I was wondering if that was how it needed to be done, or should I be thinking scripts?

How would you start solving for something like this?

Thanks!

Very similar script template just offered

Using templates to set temperature for Thermostat

My heating is always on, but if the doors are open or the house unoccupied the target is pretty low. (ie it’s the same as ‘off’) I use a template to set an input number value and when that changes it updates the climate control. This way I can manually overide at any time. I also have an input binary to act as a ‘boost button’ - sets value to evening setting for 1 hour (unless another change happens) ## resets temperature following any pattern change sc_heat_reset_value: alias: Heating…

You should be able to adapt it for you entity/attributes
