Hi Development Team,

I think the right thing to do is to thank you for all the work you are putting into this project!

I was working on a way to create a control system for my multiple speakers as described here:

Template in script parameters

Hey All, just a short background: I have multiple Chromecast Audio devices connected to speakers around the house and I have a di.fm subscription plus some radio stations that I would like to listen to. I’m looking for a convenient way to select what to play and where to play. The plan is/was to create two input_selects and a single script that reads the entity_id and the media source from the two input selects and pushes those into a media_player.play_media service call. This looks like the …

And I’m now thinking about what is the point of separating the data and data_template options when creating a script.

I would consider it more intuitive if the script would only have a data option that would accept scripts as well.

What do you think?
