Hi all. Good evening.

Q1: I’m a brand new McIntosh MA12000 and BlueSound Node owner. I need a little help with triggers. The MC12000 will power down into STANDBY mode after 30 minutes via the AUTO-OFF feature just fine. Cool! However, while using a BlueSound Node (BS) wireless streamer,, I would like the BS to power the MA12000 down to STANDBY mode after no streaming is performed (I think the timeout is 15 minutes by default). But also, upon resuming wireless streaming via the BlueOS app, to power the MA12000 back up out of STANDBY mode.

Q2: Given the MA12000 and the BS Node, how does one configure the Alexa to voice control the BS.

I‘d appreciate any suggestions you may have pertaining to Q1 or Q2 above… yes, I have combed the User Manuals, however was unable to achieve the desired results thus far. TIA! Chuck.
