I’ve worked hard to setup a tab to control my entire theater system and it works great, but not having physical volume buttons isn’t ideal. Is there a way to associate the actual volume buttons on the side of my phone to control the volume of my theater receiver when in use?
I have my reasons. Mostly because I want all controls in one place and easy to use. And using a Playstation controller to navigate menus while having another controller for volume is stupid. And yes, I have a Harmony Hub and remote, which I use in my integrations, but it’s not nearly as flexible or open as Home Assistant, which is why I prefer to use Home Assistant.
Anyways it’s probably possible if you find an app that can remap the volume buttons to do a different action, or more than one action.
Not sure I would want either to be honest.
If I want to raise the call volume then I don’t want the speakers to get louder as an example.
But perhaps there is a way to make it work correctly.
Fortunately I did, but not intentionally. I believe the side buttons either (a) control the volume of whatever media player you’re actively playing from, or (b) are working this way for me because I’m using SpotCast with Spotify and it automatically assigns whatever media player is using SpotCast as the primary player.
What exactly are you trying to use the side buttons for?
