Voice assistant same room media player volume down on assist (ducking)

I’ve created blueprint automation that while assist is working sets volume to 1/3 on media players in the same area as HA Voice assistant.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Thank you for this blueprint! Very nice but one issue: I cannot change the volume of the music anymore using the voice assist. I it will restore the original volume level afterwards.
Any smart thoughts on solving this?

Are you using latest version? Reimport blueprint and try again. I’ve added volume awareness 2 days ago
