Home Assistant Zigbee Media Remote

When I started working in my home office full-time during COVID-19 lock down, I wanted a remote control to easily pause my music whenever a Teams call or meeting started.

I had an IKEA 'hockeypuck' ZigBee control laying around that could easily be commissioned onto my home assistant setup, which is controlling my Music Player Daemons.

The fact that it's a nice big button that can be easily tapped, makes this great as a music pause button!

The automations are quite lengthy, but for your information, I provide them here...
