So I've been trying to build a script to run easily control my media players in my house. I have a field where I allow someone in my house to individual select (multiple) speakers and the artist playlist they want to hear. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to take this script field output array and display it as a list to dynamically insert into the action as:
leaden hedge
Post the script as YAML please.

script isn't complete and I threw the mobile phone notification in there so I could see the output that {{media_player_group}} was sending from the field.
It’s sending what appears to be a normal array, but I’ve tried a ton of different templating tricks and can’t seem to get it to output as something I can place in the action to join only the speakers selected.

Why not just use an entity list and scope it to the Sonos integration?
This is how I do mine:
speakers:
selector:
entity:
multiple: true
filter:
domain: media_player
integration: sonos
Then you get a list of the entity_ids in a list that you can pass to join/unjoin.

This is how I do mine:
```yaml
speakers:
selector:
entity:
multiple:...
Ok so I created that field as you described. It’s a little more work since now the person has to go to a dropdown list and select each speaker vs toggle buttons. But putting that aside, I’m not I’m following how to pass that entity list to join action.

action: media_player.join
data:
group_members: "{{ speakers | default[] }}"
target:
entity_id: media_player.main_sonos
Ok thanks! Will give this a shot. Appreciate the support
