Set Volume Level For Denon AVR In Scene

GraysonPeddie · December 28, 2016, 3:19pm

I have a couple of scenes setup that switches the input of my Marantz receiver via a denonavr component:

[code]# scene.yaml

name: Movie Time
entities:
light.Living_Room_Lights:
state: “on”
brightness: 1
light.Bedroom_Lights:
state: “off”
media_player.living_room_receiver:
source: “Android TV”
name: Main PC
entities:
light.Living_Room_Lights:
state: “on”
brightness: 128
media_player.living_room_receiver:
source: “AUX1”
name: Game in PS3
entities:
light.Living_Room_Lights:
state: “on”
brightness: 32
media_player.living_room_receiver:
source: “PS3”[/code]

What would I use to set the volume level to – let’s say, 0.8 (0 dB) for “Movie Time” scene? In “Game in PS3” scene, I want to set to 0.7 which is -10 dB in my receiver.

I once get “extra data source not allowed” in the log when I tried “volume_level: 0.8” below the “source:” line.

Did you find a solution for this?

He Guys,

i think the scene-component is the not optimal for that. There a limit for one servicecall for each entity_id:

Look at the note at the Scene-Documentation:

I’m using an input_select with automations for that.

Here is an example for that:

Input Select for my Remote:

fernbedinung:
    name: Fernbedinung
    options:
     - Aus
     - Fernsehen
     - PS4
     - Wii spielen
     - Smart TV
     - SNES
     - Musik hören
     - Kodi
    initial: Aus
    icon: mdi:remote

Automation for my Remote:

- alias: Aus
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: input_select.fernbedinung
    to: "Aus"

    - service: media_player.turn_off

My input_slider for the Volume @ my Denon uses RESTfull Command component

Heres my Config for that:

Input_slider:

volume_setpoint:
  name: Denon Volume
  initial: 25
  min: 1
  max: 50
  step: 1

RESTfull Command:

denon_volume:
  url: 'http://192.168.0.150/goform/formiPhoneAppDirect.xml?MV{{ states.input_slider.volume_setpoint.state | int}}'

Automation for Volume:

- alias: Denon Volume
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: input_slider.volume_setpoint
  action:
    - service: rest_command.denon_volume

If someone ask, why i not use a servicecall for Denon-Volume. I also try to use Alexa for setting Volume at my denon and this seemed to be the best way for achieving that.

So long

All the input stuff that you listed are automatically listed by denonavr component. I don’t know if Hue emulation bridge can work with input_select as I like to execute different scenes that changes inputs and modifies the volume level.

But thanks.

@GraysonPeddie i know, i know but it turned out it works best for my setup with alexa and so on. And my wife is no able to use it without calling me
