        action: stop

Set volume to 15 (on 0-100 range)

        volume: 15

Broadcast preset 3 content

- name: "mute"
  signals:
  - order: "Mute device"
  neurons:
    - soundtouch:
        host: 192.168.0.45
        action: mute

Switch on device by name from captured order

- name: "deviceByName"
