Amazon Echo Dot
My amp (Sony receiver) for my whole house system has multiple inputs, video, tape, CD, DAT. I use the Tape input for for my HS3 computer output. So I connected the Dot to the CD input. I can control the amp via HS3 and the USB UIRT. I can now switch the input via HS3 to the Dot or the computer. I created a HS3 event: at 7:00 AM speak "Alexa, play Spotify wake up playlist", switch input to CD.
This works fairly well, but the HS3 volume and the voice quality must be just right. I am using the Neospeech Kate voice on HS3. I also used "play SpotFI" in the text to speech command. Not ideal, but it works.
A better way would be to use the HS3 Amazon API or skill to send the appropriate JSON command directly to the dot. Any ideas?
