Receiver Input Action [onkyo]

Configuration
1

Hello there

I want to switch the light off, when I change the input of my Onkyo Receiver.
At the moment I wrote this:

[code]automation 2:
alias: Change light when watching a movie
initial_state: True
hide_entity: False
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: media_player.receiver
state: ‘source: FireTV’

input_source: Fire TV || BD/DVD || Game

condition:
condition: state
entity_id: sun.sun
state: ‘below_horizon’
action:
service: scene.turn_on
entity_id: scene.movies
[/code]

Could someone point me to a solution? I know I have to select a attribute, but how?
I don’t understand some parameters and am missing documented details.

Thank you!

I tired kind like this:

## note - hoolio is the name of my squuezebox media player
alias: Hoolio begins playing 
trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.hoolio
      to: 'playing'
      from: 'idle'
    - platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.hoolio
      to: 'playing'
      from: 'off'
action:
  - service: media_player.turn_on
    #change this to match your AVR
    entity_id: media_player.kitchen_avr
  - service: media_player.select_source
    data:
      #change this to match your AVR
      entity_id: media_player.kitchen_avr
      source: AV4

but I can’t use ‘service’ as trigger :frowning:

Where do you think this is breaking? The trigger or the action?

Here’s an automation I use to automatically turn on my receiver whenever SqueezePlay (a media_server) starts playing. I’m using the new Harmony/remote component. You can change that action to a light.turn_on…

Use the states dev tool (icon at bottom of sidebar) to see the actual states of your media_player as you start/stop it.

- alias: SqueezePlay begins playing
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.squeezeplay
      to: 'playing'
      from: 'idle'
    - platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.squeezeplay
      to: 'playing'
      from: 'off'
  action: 
    - service: remote.turn_on
      entity_id: remote.livingroom
      data:
        activity: 'Listen to Music'

okay, that was not precise enough. Sorry. Seems I’m not a true German :smiley:
I think the problem is the trigger. It should be an event, but as it is just a state and HASS does not always get the state fast enough, I think it should be an event. So triggered from the receiver.
If I trigger it via GUI, the action takes place.

long time no read. The solution is pretty simple. Instead asking the receiver for it’s source, I check the state of the media_player and trigger there the action like @ih8gates said.

  - alias: AAA Change light when watching a movie #no idea why it doesn't work
initial_state: True
hide_entity: False
trigger:
 - platform: state
   entity_id: media_player.kodi
   state: 'playing'
 - platform: state
   entity_id: media_player.FireTV
   state: 'playing'
condition:
  condition: state
  entity_id: sun.sun
  state: 'below_horizon'
action:
  service: scene.turn_on
  entity_id: scene.movies
