Are there any computers that don't cost much more than Raspberry Pi 3, but unlike it, CAN be used with an HDMI auto-switch? The Raspberry Pi is an "always-on" computer, so auto-sensing doesn't work with it. I don't know if that is also the case with alternatives such as Orange Pi or Odroid C2. And what if I powered the Raspberry Pi from a powered USB hub instead of directly from the wall, would that make a difference??? Thank you

You probably want to ask this on https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/ (but read their help first as this question may also be off-topic there). – Wai Ha Lee Jun 30 '18 at 17:05

I agree with Wai Ha Lee, but perhaps you could rephrase your question into one asking about what configuration is needed for the RPi to work with an HDMI auto-switch. – Andrew Morton Jun 30 '18 at 17:11

Thank you both, I'll do that – Mark Field Jun 30 '18 at 17:31

You can look into Arduino, pretty sure you can accomplish that using it. – Cillian Collins Jun 30 '18 at 17:57

Thank you Cillian but I need an actual computer which can run software (e.g. Kodi) and if I understand correctly Arduino is not like that. – Mark Field Jun 30 '18 at 19:05
