I'm using an Echo Dot to listen to radio, Spotify or Amazon Music. Thus I plugged it to the cinch-input of my AV receiver. But I don't want to switch the AV to the cinch input every time I want to hear to music.

Is there a way to switch directly to the correct input source (cinch) or an other easy workaround?
An optimal solution would switch it to cinch every time I start Alexa and every time I say "Alexa stop" it would switch back to the standard source (maybe with IFTTT).

EDIT

I'm using an Onkyo TX-SR313 AV-Receiver: link

    What model is your AV receiver? I think the answer probably depends on that.

    Related problems: iot.stackexchange.com/questions/358 & iot.stackexchange.com/questions/414 & iot.stackexchange.com/questions/563 ; The problem is that your AV receiver basically speaks HDMI & Infrared and the Echo speaks WiFi and the base functionality of your Echo does not provide start/stop events.
