This is perfectly possible with the current media_player.turn_on/off services. I don’t use HA default automations (I use Node Red), but I know it works from the services view in the Developer Tools dialogue, so I’m 100% sure you can make the same service call from an HA automation.

If you go to Services in Developer Tools, and go to YAML mode it will full example data for you.

RogerSelwyn commented 1 year ago

You need to do a service call action rather than a device action.

RogerSelwyn commented 1 year ago

However I will look to see if I can add device actions as well.

Amazing (I say this as a total HA novice). That is exactly what I needed to do so thanks. Yeah an action would probably assist anyone new to this like me
