Options for have incremental volume (fan speed)? #21

The plugin is working perfectly on my Yamaha WXA-50 with the ability to adjust input and volume (as fan speed). I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but would there be any settings/shortcuts other than Nested Ifs to control the volume? I have paired a Philips Hue remote that comes with On/Off/Brightness Up/Down and I'd like to use the brightness buttons as the volume control button. Would you be able to shed some lights on it? thanks and appreciate your effort!

Yes! There is a TelevisionSpeakerService, that supports both increasing/decreasing the volume by one and directly setting it to a specific value (between 1 and 100). Unfortunately the Apple Home app doesn't support directly setting it to a specific value, which is why I used the fan speed workaround. Depending on which app you use setting it to a specific value should be supported

thanks for the prompt reply and appreciate that!

I'll definitely look in to the service that you've mentioned. Yea it's a glitch that Apple Home doesn't support fan speed/brightness to a specific value, Originally I tried to pull the volume (fan speed) from the "Get State of a certain accessory", I tried to do a +5 but I am unable to feed the x+5 fan speed into the amplifier.... thanks for confirming this though :)
