Setting yamaha media player volume

Configuration
1

there’s an error in setting the volume via the yamaha component (see https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/5209 or https://github.com/wuub/rxv/issues/35). since i wanted to be able to set the yamaha volume with an input_slider, i looked for a workaround and found am easy, less error prone way to set the volume. it uses the (relativly) new Yamaha Extended Control API Specification i found here. i set up a rest command, that if fired, sets the volume according to an input_slider

rest_command:
  yamaha_lautstaerke:
    url: 'http://YAMAHA-IP/YamahaExtendedControl/v1/zone2/setVolume?volume={{ states.input_slider.yamaha_lautstaerke.state | int}}'

my yamaha receiver allows values from 0 to 161, i guess most others also do that, if not, one can find out by calling the feature list at http://YAMAHA-IP/YamahaExtendedControl/v1/system/getFeatures

i get "range_step":[{"id":"volume","min":0,"max":161,"step":1}
