volume_level value always '0'

[obaldius]

Hi,

the volume_level attribute under states always stays at 0. I always change the volume of the TV using the remote, I barely never use the volume_set service

thanks in advanced

@obaldius do you use an external sound device connected via HDMI ARC? I recently figured out volume_set service does not work when I have my soundbar connected via HDMI ARC. Let us know if it is the same for you.

Nope, I don't have external audio devices

Hi @Screwdgeh I have connected soundbar to samsung tv and volume_set doesnt work for me. It remains as previous. Did you find solution?

For volume control:

• DLNA Digital Media Renderer integration might work. If your device is compatible you'll be able to control your volume locally. It's the best bet.
• Google Cast integration, similar to the previous one.
• Smartthings keys, using the send_key command as explained in jaruba's integration (example: ST_VOL10).
• You can also try ollo69's integration, that one might work better for your TV https://github.com/ollo69/ha-samsungtv-smart
• Lastly, you might be able to change the volume of your TV through WebCore if your TV is compatible.
