In the Sonos app there’s an option of Set Volume, where you can set the volume with a slider. If it was an input value field instead you’d be able to you tags or transitions as input. ---

Who says this is not possible? 😁 The use of tags (pulling the tag over the slider) is possible; just search for Sonos and volume on this forum. Also the transitions app topic shows an flow example creating a volume transition to fade in and out the Sonos volume. ---

I must admit I’m rather new at this. But I’ve tried dragging a tag to the slider, and nothing seems to happen. And where do you see the Sonos example? I can’t see it on [https://apps.athom.com/app/name.klep.transitions](https://apps.athom.com/app/name.klep.transitions) ---

Hi again I found it ([Transitions — Flexible time transitions](https://community.homey.app/t/transitions-flexible-time-transitions/443/29)), it helps when I read what you actually wrote. I managed to get it to work, it’s just very tricky to get the tag to be accepted by the slider - the Homey apps seem a little finicky about that. ---

I didn’t know you could do that. But after trying it, I find that it’s just as finicky.
