Feature Request: Add sound field selection on all cards.

[buskeyl]

Thank you for the cards. This could just be my inexperience, but I am working with a Denon x2700h AVR, and I am amazed at how hard it seems to be to add a custom button on the mini card that does the same thing as the sound field selection does. These options seem to only be available after popping up the more-info card. Seems like more clicking than necessary. Looking for option to make it a custom button somehow or have it just show up like the source selection does?

I'm guessing this is something custom to Denon media players. Source select is something that most media players support, so that's why it's there.

You can make a button that selects a specific sound field. You could also make a script that toggles between sound fields, and trigger that using a single custom button.
There's no way to create a dropdown right now.

Thanks for the reply. This seems to be an area where, as we learn the HA system, hard limitations like this are hard to recognize as such. It was in fact, because I could see the sources as an option to select, and the sound fields showed as an attribute just like the sources do, and the fact that I can get the selection list I wanted, but only after getting the more-info pop up, that I assumed there had to be a way to get there directly, and I was just not experienced enough with the cards and yaml to make it work. I have found and experimented with how to specifically set a sound mode. Just seemed silly to make like 14 or 15 buttons in a card when more-info has what I need. I'll just have to live with that for now. Thanks again for the quick reply, and for the killer cards.

But do you use all 15 modes? You only need to setup buttons for the ones you use.

Honestly I would handle this in an automation.
If music assistant is playing set one mode, if blu-ray player on set another etc.
