I have had a Beam now since launch and I love it.
I have only recently enabled Alexa for Spotify streaming to my Beam and that works great, bit I am becoming frustrated with having to launch the App to change the Beam input back to my HDMI-CEC TV.
Is there an easier way to do this?
I have tried commands such as "Alexa, change input to TV"
Is this just the way it's set up or am I missing something?

Hi All
I have a Beam connected to my Samsung TV. I'll admit the Beam will turn my TV on but will not turn it off. 😞 I previously had it connected to a Sony TV and the on/off command worked both ways. 🙂 However I digress as that's another post upon which I've made comment.
To your question...I command my Beam to play Sirius XM Watercolors to keep my dog company when I leave for work. Upon my return I just say "Alexa...Stop music". I can immediately command Alexa (Beam) to turn on my TV. That said...you may have to tell the Beam to stop the music stream before switching to TV and vise-versa. I guess the Beam can't multi-task :8
Cheers!

I have this same issue. When I launch music I have to go to the app to change the sound back to TV
