Hello Everybody! My first post, 
My Idea:
I want to start my Receiver via Amazon Echo and switch it to the channel the echo is connected to (CD).
My Receiver (Pioneer VSX920) cannot be started via network, therefore I thought to start it via hdmi-cec.
As cec is allready running on osmc I did not want to mess around with installing it again in virtualenv.
I tried first to symlink the osmc cec to the virtualenv:
ln -s /usr/osmc/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cec /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages

This did not work though, probably, because of the different Python versions?!?
Next I tried to follow this tutorial to use ssh commands to cec of osmc:
But here I fail to trigger the ssh command probably because I fail to setup osmc/password correctly.
Thank you in advance!
Cheers Mat
My Setup
Pioneer VSX920 Receiver connected to:
Sony Bravia TV (setup works with HASS)
PS4
Raspberry PI 2 OSMC with Hyperion and HASS running in parallel
Panasonic All System (Would love to integrate but no Linux APK)
Amazon Echo Dot (Works nicely with emulated Hue, Hyperion and Bravia TV)
