node-RED: Setting the volume level based on existing volume level

Third party integrations Node-RED

Hi all!
I am trying to program my HUE Dimmer Switch to control Sonos.
I have successfully manage to turn on my Sonos and adjusting the volume, but I am trying to increase the volume_set steps.
I’m able to fetch the existing volume level and I’d like to add 0.05 to the value but I am getting “Extra keys not allowed”.
Please help me with what is wrong with the following statement entered in the DATA field:

{"volume_level":{{{data.attributes.volume_level}- 0.1}}}

Have a great day everyone!

Change the type of the data field to JSONata Expression and use

{"volume_level": data.attributes.volume_level - 0.1}

This worked!!! Thank you sooooooooo much!!!
(It turned out I was increasing the value too much as well…)
But, what is the difference between JSON and EXPRESSION?

I just found this. I copiesd the code you wrote, changed to “Expression” but get API Error:

How can I make the volume of a speaker take the value of an input number?
