Switching inputs

Is there any way to switch back to listening to the tv after listening to music without your phone? If someone asks Alexa to play music, then wants to watch tv, you have to go find your phone to switch it back to TV. Doesn’t seem smart.

    If you have "autoplay" turned on for your TV room, when you turn on the TV, it should switch back to that input.

    But is there a way to switch back to tv sound when the tv is already on? Or does one have to cycle the tv off and on? Surely it would be easy to have a TV input under Rooms - Lounge?

    You can also mute the TV, then unmute.
