Weird issue with Cards in lovelace using the "power" button on a media card

Configuration Frontend

I assume this is an easy fix and I am just missing something. This morning when I woke up and I went to turn on media devices (TV/AppleTV/Audio Receiver) from the “media player” card on the dashboard, nothing happened. I restarted HA same issue. Then I manually turned on all devices and tried to operate each one from the media card SUCCESS there including powering the devices off. However, all devices will not power back on via the media card. So, I went to the “Dev Tools” and manually called the service to media_player.device - turn_on. That works! So, I have a feeling it’s an issue with the card or dashboard of some sort. Also, I tried to download the “mini media player” card from HACS and it suffered the same issues as the default media player card.

Using the mini-media-player card try setting:

toggle_power: false

This will force the card to use separate commands for on and off, rather than sending the toggle power command - which may not exist for your players, see if there is a toggle power service in dev tools and if it works from the off state.

This setting is not available for the core media player card as far as I can see.

I tried the min-media player and set the toggle_power: to false but it doesn’t save that change. When I close the editing of the card and re-edit, it always defaults back to “true”. Also, in the dev tools, the “toggle” service doesn’t work there as well. However, “turn_on” does from dev tools.

Don’t use the visual editor, use the code editor. The visual editor appears to be broken. It always displays the toggle power as true even when set to false.

I just opened a new issue for this.

I tried the code edited code as well and it was the same result in either case.

What result?

It does not save the setting or it has no effect on powering up your media player?

The setting saves for me, and it powers up my Yamaha RX-V685 (the toggle service does not).

If you are still experiencing the problem you should open an issue with whatever integration you are using for the media player.

Even addressing the code editor doesn’t change the behavior of powering up media player.
