I am trying to create a card that lets me switch the source of the amplifier in my kitchen. The amplifier is an OSD Nero Stream, which runs on the linkplay hardware, and is added to HA via the Linkplay Integration. I can change the source by inspecting the device seen here https://i.imgur.com/uSmwFiu.png

but i need a selector on my dashboard and cant figure it out, and more importantly need to be able to change it with automations

A media player entity has a source_list attribute with the list of possible sources, and a source attribute for the current source.

so it says that because this is a building block i cant add it directly to my HA but in this case say Linkplay should have it? because im not finding it as somthing i can access

That's an action all media players should have I believe.

#

Try making an action and looking for select_source

#

If there's no card that has this source selector on it, you'll have to make your own entity with an input_select.

okay, thank you i think i understand now how to automate it which is most important

and also gives me enough info as a starting point to make a card that i can add to my dashboard to change it as well
