I'm interested in this one as well, but...
I'd like to achieve Mrs C saying "watch the tv" and then the tv comes on and the amp comes on, set to the right things. I don't think I can do this with the kit I have.
Both the TV and amp come on in standby from power off. I imagine I'd need to set up some sort of infra red sender controlled by Home Assistant, and that means another box and wires (instant female veto in the lounge).
So if I were to be buying a new tv and amp, are there buzzwords to look for, technology built into them that would make this task easier? And as I type, maybe the answer is an Alexa enabled tv and amp. Are there such things that work?
As to the routines and set times for lights and things, I think I do all that with Alexa and a couple of Chinese smart plugs for a tenner each (and yes, I have blocked them sending stuff back to China with pihole...)
