The volume of the "Talk on a speaker" (music.play-notification) scene action could only be a fixed number. It can now also be a calculated value based on scene variables, so an announcement can be played quieter in the evening or at night, as requested on the forum.
The volume field gets the same Simple / Computed toggle already used by the "Control a device" and "Wait" actions:
Simple: the existing slider, stored in volume (unchanged default behaviour).
Computed: a text field where scene variables can be injected with {{ }}, stored in a new optional evaluate_volume field.
Server side, evaluate_volume is rendered with Handlebars against the scene scope and evaluated with the scene formula engine (the same restricted mathjs instance used by the other actions). The result is rounded and clamped between 0 and 100, since the speaker services expect a percentage, and the scene is aborted with ACTION_VALUE_NOT_A_NUMBER if the formula throws or does not return a finite number, instead of sending NaN to a speaker.
Backward compatibility: an action storing a plain numeric volume keeps behaving exactly as before, and an action without any volume still lets each speaker service apply its own default.
Changes:
server/lib/scene/scene.actions.js: resolve the volume of the play notification action.
server/models/scene.js: accept the new evaluate_volume string field.
server/services/mcp/lib/sceneSchemas.js: same field in the MCP scene schema.
front/.../actions/PlayNotification.jsx: Simple/Computed toggle for the volume.
front/.../edit-scene/index.js: evaluate_volume added to the attributes whose variable paths are rewritten when action groups move.
i18n: new strings in en, fr and de.
server/test/lib/scene/actions/scene.action.playNotification.test.js: tests for the no-volume, fixed-volume, calculated, clamped (both bounds) and invalid formula paths.
Tests pass: cd server && npm run coverage (Codecov requires 100% coverage on changed lines) and Cypress (npm run cypress:run) if the UI changed
Linter and prettier pass on both front and server (npm run eslint, npm run prettier)
No undocumented breaking change
What was actually verified in the sandbox: the scene and MCP test suites pass (490 tests), and c8 reports every changed line of scene.actions.js as covered. The full server suite has pre-existing failures unrelated to this change (missing sqlite3 CLI, network-dependent gateway/AI tests), so the first box is left unticked. Cypress was not run (no browser available), and the new UI was checked with a production front build only, not manually in a browser. npm run compare-translations passes.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added computed volume support for “Play notification” scene actions.
Choose between a fixed volume slider or a formula based on scene variables.
Computed volumes are validated and constrained to the supported 0–100% range.
Invalid calculations are rejected to prevent playback with an unusable volume.
Switching between volume modes preserves the current setting when possible.
Documentation
Added explanatory guidance and translations for the new volume options in English, German, and French.
The volume of the "Talk on a speaker" scene action was always a fixed
number. It can now also be a formula based on scene variables (new
optional "evaluate_volume" field), so an announcement can be played
quieter in the evening or at night for example.
The formula is rendered with Handlebars and evaluated with the scene
formula engine, like the "control a device" and "wait" actions. The
result is rounded and clamped between 0 and 100, and the scene is
aborted if the formula does not return a usable number. Actions storing
a plain numeric volume, or no volume at all, keep working as before.

The scene editor supports fixed or computed notification volume. Scene schemas accept evaluate_volume. Execution evaluates, validates, clamps, and applies computed values. Tests cover normal, boundary, and error cases.
The editor provides simple and computed volume controls. It stores either volume or evaluate_volume and tracks computed expressions during variable updates.
Volume contracts and execution server/models/scene.js, server/services/mcp/lib/sceneSchemas.js, server/lib/scene/scene.actions.js
Scene validation accepts evaluate_volume. Notification execution evaluates the expression, rejects invalid results, clamps values to 0–100, and sends the result to the device.
The change adds calculated speaker volume while preserving fixed and default behavior. A bounded editor-state issue may persist the wrong volume mode or field when actions change, so owner follow-up is advisable before or after merge.

A formula follows the scene road.
Bad numbers stop before the call,
Bounds keep the volume safe for all.

Looks good to merge. This is a straightforward extension of the existing Simple / Computed formula pattern (Wait, Control a device) to the play-notification volume, matching the forum request.
The server path is in good shape: Handlebars + the restricted scene evaluate(), fail-closed with ACTION_VALUE_NOT_A_NUMBER on throw or non-finite results, then round and clamp to 0–100. Fixed volume and missing volume stay backward compatible. The editor rewrites evaluate_volume when action groups move, Joi/MCP accept the new field, and i18n is in en/fr/de. Tests cover no-volume, fixed, calculated, both clamp bounds, invalid formula, and non-finite (50 / 0). CI is green including codecov/patch.
No new DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / DEVICE_FEATURE_TYPES. Not high risk (targeted scene action, no auth/DB/host). No philosophy question that needs a separate human pass — the pattern is already shipping on other actions.
Two non-blocking notes below: speaker services still treat volume 0 as “use default” (pre-existing, more visible now that formulas can clamp to 0), and the new tabs copy the older <span> toggle instead of Set-a-variable’s keyboard-reachable buttons.
Switching between the Simple and Computed volume tabs only changed the
local state: an action switched to Computed without editing the formula
kept its fixed volume, and one switched back to Simple without moving the
slider kept evaluating the formula.
The tabs now use the same pattern as the "Set a variable" action: clicking
the active tab is a no-op, switching clears the value of the other type,
and switching to Computed seeds the formula with the volume shown by the
slider. They are also real buttons, so they stay reachable with the
keyboard, as the shared valueTypeLink style already documents.

Second look after 05d8759. The server path, tests, Joi/MCP field, i18n, and action-group rewrite are still in good shape. The follow-up also landed the two nits from the first pass: the volume tabs are real <button type="button">s, and clicking the active tab is a no-op.
One functional gap remains in that same handler, so this is not ready to merge yet.
selectVolumeType(true) correctly seeds evaluate_volume from the slider and clears volume. selectVolumeType(false) only clears evaluate_volume and never writes volume back. Simple → Computed → Simple without touching the slider therefore saves neither field. The remounted range input shows the browser default (~50) while playback falls back to each speaker's default. Please restore a numeric volume on that switch (parse the formula when it is a plain number, otherwise a default that matches the slider).
Not high risk (targeted scene-action UI). No new device categories/types, and no philosophy question that needs a separate human pass. Sonos/Cast treating volume 0 as “use default” stays a follow-up, as agreed. CI is green including codecov/patch.
Switching the "play notification" volume back to Simple only cleared
"evaluate_volume", so an action saved without touching the slider kept no
volume at all: the range input remounted on its own midpoint while the
speaker fell back to its own default, silently losing the volume the user
had set before switching to Computed.
The Simple branch now does the reverse of the Computed one: a formula that
is already a plain number is rounded and clamped back into "volume", any
other formula falls back to the value the empty slider shows, so the saved
action always matches the selected mode.
Autofix-Pass: 2
Synchronize computedVolume when the action changes.
ActionGroup renders ActionCard without a key, and ActionCard renders PlayNotification by component type and position. When a different notification action replaces the current action at that position, Preact can reuse the existing PlayNotification instance. Its constructor does not run again, so computedVolume can retain the previous mode and clear the wrong persisted field. Synchronize this state when the action identity changes, without treating an intentionally empty computed expression as a mode change.

Third look after d8b4d82. The previous blocker is fixed: switching back to Simple now writes a numeric volume before clearing evaluate_volume. A formula that is already a plain number is rounded and clamped (same 0–100 contract as the server); anything else falls back to 50, the empty slider’s midpoint. Simple → Computed → Simple without touching the slider no longer saves an action with neither field.
The rest of the change is unchanged and still looks right: Handlebars + the restricted scene evaluate(), fail-closed with ACTION_VALUE_NOT_A_NUMBER on throw or non-finite results, then round and clamp. Fixed volume and missing volume stay backward compatible. The editor rewrites evaluate_volume when action groups move, Joi/MCP accept the new field, and i18n is in en/fr/de. Tests cover no-volume, fixed, calculated, both clamp bounds, invalid formula, and non-finite (50 / 0). CI is green including codecov/patch.
No new DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / DEVICE_FEATURE_TYPES. Not high risk (targeted scene action, no auth/DB/host). No philosophy question that needs a separate human pass — this is the existing Simple / Computed pattern on one more field, matching the forum request. Sonos/Cast treating volume 0 as “use default” stays a follow-up, as agreed.
