Using Wiim as a timer/alarm clock, triggering the whole system

Not sure if this is the right forum section for this. Happy to move it.

Is there an easy, affordable way to use the Wiim (attached to a vintage receiver) as a timer/alarm clock, so that the Wiim’s timer triggers the whole system (including receiver) to turn on (respective off)?

 

I should probably mention that my receiver itself doesn’t have a trigger-in option

Thanks!

You can buy relatively inexpensive "outlet" timers. I use one when on vacation to turn on and off at various times during the day and night lights and loud stereo.

I use an analog timer, but I am sure there are digital times if you need accuracy.

 

I should add that if you need a source that will play automatically you probably will need a CD player or FM tuner as input to the WIIM.  I don't think a WIIM will stream automatically on startup.
