Thanks for having a look and the good ideas. It is perfectly feasible to have the webhook flip a binary switch in HA and a HA automation flip it back after a certain timeout.
I was going to apply this until I read your last sentence:
and then I asked ChatGPT to calculate my savings, giving it 18W which I could save if I turned both monoblocks off for 16h a day and the price I pay per kWh and gave up on this whole idea. Its not worth the effort for saving 14.72 euros per year.
Still, nice to know how all of this works, I could still fool around with other automations based on the fact that music is playing or not :-)
