Dear All
A new user here, pleased to meet you! I’ve been playing around a bit with Home Assistant now for a while but still trying to master it as much as possible. Having a good code editor helps luckily.
I’m currently a bit stuck with an automation that I’m trying to set-up; or rather tidy up as I like to keep my automations as small as possible. This is why I was looking into scenes. At the moment I have a rather simple automation that will open up the blinds in the living room and the kitchen and in turn will also start playing the Sonos in the kitchen. The automation for now is as follows:
- id: morning_routine_winter_weekdays
alias: Morning Routines for Winter Weekdays.
trigger:
- at: "07:30:00"
platform: time
action:
- data:
entity_id:
- cover.living__groot_raam
- cover.living__klein_raam
- cover.keuken__groot_raam
service: cover.open_cover
- service: media_player.select_source
data:
entity_id: media_player.keuken
source: "Joe"
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
entity_id: media_player.keuken
volume_level: 0.07
- service: media_player.turn_on
data:
entity_id: media_player.keuken
What I am trying to achieve now is to change this code towards something as follows:
- id: morning_routine_winter_weekdays
alias: Morning Routines for Winter Weekdays.
trigger:
- at: "07:30:00"
platform: time
action:
- data:
entity_id:
- cover.living__groot_raam
- cover.living__klein_raam
- cover.keuken__groot_raam
service: cover.open_cover
- service: scene.turn_on
data:
entity_id: scene.scene_morning_winter
My scenes file looks as follows:
- name: scene_morning_winter
entities:
light.huiskamer:
state: on
xy_color: [0.504, 0.412]
brightness: 254
media_player.keuken:
state: playing
volume_level: 0.07
source: "Joe"
Interestingly enough my Sonos does start playing at the correct time; however my volume does not get set and the Sonos Favorite does not get selected. It seems that in a scene I’m only able to change the state of 1 item for a media_player component.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this and if it’s even possible to control the Sonos in a scenes file? I’ve looked around on the community but haven’t really seen an answer towards this question before.
Thanks a lot for the help!
Kind Regards
Bryan
