Ugh, I can't see the volume on my soundbar anymore... I really don't like that the only way I can control my soundbar to change the volume is through a server from Samsung in the cloud... That breaks every other month, what a bunch of bullshit

@maruno oof 🙃 I'm glad my 10yo Samsung soundbar is still doing okay, and with absolutely zero integration (although I've got an irblaster style device to play with to see if I can connect to Home Assistant)

@arakin This one also does IR but I also want to be able to see what the volume level is and we do like night mode and voice enhancement to be easily accessible. It works but it's just annoying that I had to change custom components twice and now just a week after the last change the volume stopped being reported.... Ugh :/

@maruno my amp runs a local webserver i can access to control it's volume (among other things). the app that comes with it also very clearly just talks to this webserver. but the IR emitter on my phone remains an option too, as remains the big fat knob on the front.

i am kinda glad it'll never get that level of cloux support, even if it's just cause i still want it to work in 5 years time
