I will share my flows later (do not have much time now)  
What I did:  
Create 2 virtual devices: “Radio ON” & “Radio playing“

“Radio ON” controls if the radio should start playing automatically (i do not always want to autoplay)  
“Radio playing” controls the playing of the radio

I have a motion sensor that determines presence. It starts the “radio playing” only when “Radio ON” is true.

A timer switches off the radio when no motion is detected

A hue remote control is used to control “Radio On”. The dimmer buttons on this remote are used to [control the volume](https://community.homey.app/t/a-volume-button-for-my-chromecast/9476)
