"SOLVED" Chromecast Audio "media_player.volume_set"

Third party integrations
1

I have a coupple of Chromecast Audios (CCA), where I use 2 different phones to cast from.
I want to set a volume every time I start casting, so I have the same volume to start with, no matter what the CCA was left at.
I can set the volume with the automation, but if I change the volume, using one of the phones, later, the volume jumps back to the defined value in the automation.
What is wrong?

  - entity_id: media_player.stue
    service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      volume_level: 0.5

Your automation will fire any time the state changes and the current state is “playing”. That will happen more often than you think. Either use a different trigger if you only want it to happen on startup or create an more sophisticated condition.

Thanks micque.
You were right.
I made a more sophisticated automation.
