Are there alternatives to Echo Speaks to control the volume of my Amazon Echo devices?

I believe the Follow Me app also has the capability to change the volume. [image] [RELEASE] Follow Me - Speaker control with priority messaging, volume controls, voices and sound files! Custom Apps *** BPTWorld apps are no longer being developed or maintained. Thanks *** …

You can set device volume in the action of an Alexa routine, so you could trigger it with a virtual switch/contact. However, you'd have to have a different routine for each volume level and it looks like you'd have to have a different set of routines/virtual switch for each Alexa device.

I wish there was a way to set the volume back to the pre announcement level. When playing music on volume 4, she announces at volume 5, we have to tell her to lower the volume back to 4 Oh such first world problems

Thanks for the suggestion, 10 secs didn't work either... [image] Follow me kills my hub with messages/activity, and Alexa TTS is OK but I get cookie warnings every day... This was on my wish list, I'll move along now, nothing more to see here

[image] Royski: executeSequenceCommand("volume::50,, speak::This is pretty cool,, volume::30") I'd run this rather than trying to get RM to do it. I don't use RM, so don't know how you would do this, but its the best commend for what you're looking for I think.
