Thanks for your work @robertklep

Sharing my Sonos Fade-in / Fade-out flows, based on the transitions app.

1.Trigger flow:

- Flow being triggered and based on the volume level will trigger either the fade-in or fade-out flow

2.Fade in flow:

- Start fade-in transition, with input: `0-0.1, 30s, 3s`; volume level from 0 to 10% (`0-0.1`), in 30 seconds, 3 seconds per step

3.Fade out flow:

- create a Better Logic variable (`Sonos-Fade-out`) to determine the transition duration based on the actual volume level (tag). I used 200x the volume level. ie. a volume level of 15% will use a transition duration of 30s.
- Start a transition with input `'# Set volume' tag - 0, 'Sonos-Fade-out's, 1s`; start level the actual volume level of the Sonos speaker, and duration defined by the BL variable `Sonos-Fade-out`.

4.Actual updating of the Sonos volume level

- Drag the `# Value` tag of the “Transition changed” trigger card over the slider of the “Set volume” action card

5.Stop playing once the transition is completed and volume level = 0

Flows 1-3 can also be combined into 1 flow, taking away the separate flow triggers. But in this case, I also trigger the same flow 2 and 3 from other flows (e.g. my wake-up flow triggered by the coffee machine)…
