Onkyo volume control using the XIAOMI cube

Configuration
,
1

Good day. Can anyone know how to handle volume control using the XIOMI cube? I found scripts where the value is - service: media_player.volume_set. But I would like to call either - service: media_player.volume_up or - service: media_player.volume_down, when turning the cube in the direction. I have this automation:

  alias: cube_volume_rotation
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      action_type: rotate
      entity_id: binary_sensor.cube_158d0002791f36_2
    event_type: cube_action
    platform: event
  condition: []
  action: 
    - service: media_player.volume_set    
      data_template:
       entity_id: media_player.pioneer_vsx_933          
       volume_level: >
          {%if trigger.event.data.action_value | float > 0 %} 
          {{  states.media_player.pioneer_vsx_933.attributes.volume_level | float + 0.2 }}
          {% else %} 
          {{  states.media_player.pioneer_vsx_933.attributes.volume_level | float - 0.2 }}
          {% endif %}

Any reason to switch to volume up instead of set volume?
It should be the same though… just replace what you currently have with one for up:

 action: 
    - service: media_player.volume_up
      data_template:
       entity_id: media_player.pioneer_vsx_933

and one for down. I think you current implementation is nicer.

Sorry but my English is weak. I need to change it to media_player.volume_up or media_player.volume_down, because I can not set a good volume using - service: media_player.volume_set. The maximum value I can get is 1, but my receiver needs up to 1.5 for a good volume. By using the up or down function it works. But I do not understand how to change the whole automation so that the direction of rotation of the cube reduces or added volume.

Not 100% sure if syntax is correct, but try this:

  action: 
    - service: >
          {%if trigger.event.data.action_value | float > 0 %} 
          media_player.volume_up
          {% else %} 
          media_player.volume_down
          {% endif %}
      entity_id: media_player.pioneer_vsx_933

:disappointed_relieved:i have error: I think thi is goog idea but syntax or … ??? is incorrect :disappointed_relieved:

Invalid config for [automation]: Service {%if trigger.event.data.action_value | float > 0 %}  media_player.volume_up {% else %}  media_player.volume_down {% endif %}
does not match format <domain>.<name> for dictionary value @ data['action'][0]['service'].

ah, because it must be

service_template:

  action: 
    - service_template: >
          {%if trigger.event.data.action_value | float > 0 %} 
          media_player.volume_up
          {% else %} 
          media_player.volume_down
          {% endif %}
      entity_id: media_player.pioneer_vsx_933

Thank you. Excellent, it is working. Problem is solved. Thx

  alias: cube_volume_rotation
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      action_type: rotate
      entity_id: binary_sensor.cube_158d0002791f36_2
    event_type: xiaomi_aqara.cube_action
    platform: event

FYI… the event_type needs to be changed to xiaomi_aqara.cube_action since 0.83. Otherwise it will not work :slight_smile:

Wondering if you already found a neat solution?
Myself trying to manage actions using Node Red.
