My necessity came from the fact that I have created an input_number component with slider to control the volume of my HiFi Receiver but haven’t figured out a way to loop the execution of the action based on the slider value using templates.
I would like to use it for setting my amp to an acceptable volume at boot time. So I would blast VolumeDown for 8 seconds (all the way down) then 3 seconds for an acceptable default volume. The num_repeats part would be very helpful.
