My iPhone cannot wake up the Apple TV if I first turn on Airplay and then start playing music. It does wake up if I do those operations in the reverse order: first start playing music and then turn on Airplay. I assume it's not the way it's supposed to work. Is there a way to fix this?
Got a tip for us?

Airplay - Apple TV does not wake up

Thanks for your answers! I have already reset the Apple TV and reset it to factory settings. I also started the iPhone a few times again.
Can it be connected to the wireless router? After I moved earlier this year, I got a new wireless router, and since then I have these problems. Are there any settings I have to make?
ATV and iPhone are up to date...

I forgot to write that I have a running Airport Express in the Kitchen where I listen to music with. This works without any problems...
ATV is connected with a cable to the router - Airport Express via WiFi...
I got yesterday at the Apple Store under warranty, a new Apple TV. Everything worked fine. As of today, I have the same problem: When I select Airplay via iTunes or iOS, nothing happens. Only when I turn on the Apple TV with the remote control, I can stream via airplay.
Any suggestions what I can do?
I think that this is a network problem. Do I have to enable any ports on the router?
Solved by connecting via WIFI, not Ethernet
Previously I had my ATV3 hard wired to my router, then the ATV3 wouldn't wake up on demand as I posted firstly. Just a moment a go I disconnected the ethernet from my ATV3 a tried connecting it via WIFI, and voilá, it works now! that is, my ATV3 is now available on demand and wakes up when I send music from my iPhone without having to use the ATV remote to wake it up.

How is your ATV connected to your network, wifi or ethernet?

8765 hours a year * 6 watt(ATV3 power consumption)=52.59 kWh ...sounds like a lot, I don't know if I want to have my ATV3 awake all the time.

Suit yourself, but I think I can handle the less than $10 per year in expense.8765 hours a year * 6 watt(ATV3 power consumption)=52.59 kWh ...sounds like a lot, I don't know if I want to have my ATV3 awake all the time.
