The attribute *is_volume_muted* should return either True or the on state when the volume is muted. The *volume_mute* service should toggle the mute setting.
When providing *select_source* as a command, it is recomended to also provide the attributes *source*, and *source_list*. The *source* attribute is the currently select source, while the *source_list* attribute is a list of all available sources.

In this example, a switch is available to control the power of the television. Switches are also available to turn the volume up, turn the volume down, and mute the audio. These could be command line switches or any other entity in Home Assistant. The *turn_on* and *turn_off* commands will be redirected to the television and the volume commands will be redirected to an audio receiver.
