Volume control option not showing under state attributes when called by Appdeamon

[Ralcidonis]

I know you added volume control option not too long ago but when a get_state call is performed using Appdeamon, the volume control is not listed in the list of attributes. Adding volume = a certain number as an additional parameter in a method call does nothing. I just do not see how to access the "extra" info since it is not showing as available attributes.

The media_player entity does not expose volume as a state attribute. It is only accepted in the media_player.play_media service call as shown here. It is a "write-only" parameter and will not affect the volume level of the speaker itself.

The 0.1.1 release adds volume control to the integration. This may help your setup.

I appreciate you working on this integration.

The volume is still not working for me, even after this last HA Core update. I keep receiving a 400 bad request in the log. I am calling this with an Appdeamon function as follows:

self.call_service("media_player/play_media", entity_id = "media_player.master_bedroom", media_content_id = "media-source://tts/cloud?message=This is a TTS test", media_content_type = "music", volume = 20)

Error: "WARNING HASS: Code: 400, error: 400: Bad Request"

if I take the volume parameter, it works just fine.

The param must be provided in the extra dict as shown in the examples. I don't use AppDaemon myself, but I'd assume you'd change the volume param from:

volume = 20

to:

extra = {"volume": 20}

So the full request would look like:

self.call_service("media_player/play_media", entity_id = "media_player.master_bedroom", media_content_id = "media-source://tts/cloud?message=This is a TTS test", media_content_type = "music", extra = {"volume": 20})

This works beautifully. I appreciate the assistance all over the place!
