Automate Display Clock / Time on Hub after Starting Stream on TuneIn

Hello, I feel like this should be a fairly easy automation, but I can’t seem to solve it.

I have a morning routine, that turns on lights, tells me the weather etc. it ends with a livestream of WNYC on TuneIn and I want to add a command to” display clock”, so it turns on the radio and then defaults back to the clock display instead of the visual of the livestream.

I know I can swipe right, but the whole point of these things is to automate these things.

Hope this is possible, thanks!

Try the custom command "Back" after the radio custom action.

I use this as a verbal command to a speaker to see the clock while still having the music play.

Just used this in an Automation and it does work.

Thanks for this, but I can’t seem to add a custom action after the tunein / media launch command. It just seems to bunch it with the standard “actions” that all happen before. Am I missing something?

I just added a couple of screenshots to my reply.

Whoa, nvm, it’s working thanks! Have to add “play ____ on tunein” as a custom action instead of using the launch media command that moves it to the end of all other commands.

I’m back in business baby!
