I am using HS4. I added my Russound CAM 6.6 and I can control everything with the web interface. I enabled the Voice Command and I can turn the zones off/on with Alexa. How do I get it so I can control Volume and Source with Alexa?

It has been a while but for the sources I ended up writing some logic that will change the sources on the speakers that are currently on to the source I specify. I did not write one for each source for each set of speakers. If I want one to be different I generally use one of the tablets around the house or my phone.
I had to create a virtual device that is turned on by creating a routine in Alexia. This calls a routine for each set of speakers and if the speakers are on, the source is changed.
I haven't done anything for the volume in Alexia as I was hoping Blade could just make it appear to Alexia as a light. He actually may have already done so, but my wife accidentally told Alexia to lower the lights and she dimmed them slightly. I didn't know this was possible but have been meaning to change the volume to Voice command and "is light" and try it.
I realize the volume is a little weird as you can only choose even numbers as values, but was hoping it could just be made to appear as a 0-100% setting to Alexia for control.
