+Update the volume
+
+## Input parameters
+
+| parameter | required | type   | default | choices         | comment                                                                            |
+|:----------|:---------|:-------|:--------|:----------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| level     | yes      | int    | None    |                 | The volume level to set or increase or decrease depending of the selected 'action' |
+| action    | no       | string | set     | set,raise,lower | The action to apply to the volume                                                  |
+
+Action type:
+
+- **set:** set the 'level' value as new volume level
+- **raise:** increase the current volume level with the value provided in 'level'
+- **lower:** decrease the current volume level with the value provided in 'level'
+
+## Returned values
+
+| name          | description                            | type   | sample |
+|:--------------|:---------------------------------------|:-------|:-------|
+| asked_level   | The level variable sent to the neuron  | int    | 22     |
+| asked_action  | The action variable sent to the neuron | string | set    |
+| current_level | The current volume level on the system | int    | 50     |
+
+
+## Synapses example
+
+Set the volume to 50%
+```yaml
+- name: "set-volume"
+  signals:
+    - order: "set the volume to 50"
+  neurons:
+    - volume:
+        level: "50"
+```
+
+Set the volume dynamically
+```yaml
+- name: "set-volume-dynamic"
+  signals:
+    - order: "set the volume to {{ volume }}"
+  neurons:
+    - volume:
+        level: "{{ volume }}"
+```
+>**Note:** Depending of your STT engine, the caught 'volume' variable can be a string. For example "twenty" instead of "20". 
+
+Raise the volume
+```yaml
+- name: "raise-volume"
+  signals:
+    - order: "raise the volume"
+  neurons:
+    - volume:
+        level: "10"
+        action: "raise"
+```
+
+Reduce the volume
+```yaml
+- name: "lower-volume"
+  signals:
+    - order: "reduce the volume"
+  neurons:
+    - volume:
+        level: "10"
+        action: "lower"
+```
