I have a music frame and would dearly love to be able to change it’s Advanced Sound Settings mode to night mode at a certain hour every day. This option doesn’t seem to be exposed as something controllable via smart things. Any advice?
Check in the ST Advanced Web App and verify that you have a command main.custom.soundmode (or similar). If so, you can probably use a 3rd party tool like sharptools.io which doesn’t limit access to additional attributes and commands like the ST mobile app does.

Excellent guidance, thanks! Geez there aren’t really a ton of docs available for these features eh? I don’t think the option I wanna set is even available ;_;
That’s one of the frustrating things about ST is that although capabilities may be defined for a device, they may or may not be exposed in various parts of the presentation such as the triggers for automations, actions for automations, or even the device card. Other applications and 3rd party tools can access those capabilities through the APIs and aren’t filtering out what is presented.
You’re quite helpful! I appreciate the solid community vibes. Do you have any recommendations for 3rd party tools with good support that you like? I need is management for a frame TV and two music frames (a pretty basic setup). It seems like there isn’t loads of good info online for what tools I could be using. I assumed ST would offer the best support for features and automations, but maybe not?
