Set Volume on Alexa

Using Rules - I attempt to set volume to an Alexa device. A message comes over the audio 'sorry - you can only set volume between zero and 10'.

In rules you are offered: (set volume help text 0...100)

.
Legacy rules and apps/drivers allowed me to use 36, 40.5 etc. (the source of this rule is a few years old). I understand that set volume is not checking the range of the driver ability programatically - however - the optimum for me is now 3.6 - however the range doesn't allow decimal values. Not a big deal really, Alexa accepts the values verbally but I believe it rounds. Just a caveat for others to note.

If this is for Echo Speaks Call "setVolume" as a custom action in RM. Then you can put whatever you want in for the parameters.

Hmm... just tested on mine and setVolume takes between 0-100, 100 sets it to full volume. The setLevel command seems to work the same. Not sure why you are having issues doing the above but it should work as a custom action.
