Sending Button Commands

If you are using Mini Media Player or some other player that supports sending play_media commands, you can configure this in the front-end rather than having to configure a source and then assigning it to a button. For example, the below will send the ‘channelup’ button command to the Sky box:

shortcuts:
  buttons:
    - icon: 'mdi:chevron-up'
      id: channelup
      type: skyq

You can also send a sequence of commands as a service call such as the below (backup is included here because you may need to exit the Sky EPG, it is not required):

service: media_player.play_media
target:
  entity_id: media_player.sky_q
data:
  media_content_type: skyq
  media_content_id: backup,1,0,5
