You can get WiFi and Google/Alexa-friendly versions of most home appliances now.
The problem of older devices not being in the desired state after power up is irritating. But with specific regard to the telly, someone mentioned a device on here (IIRC it was so they could remotely set their elderly parents TV back to BBC if they'd been fiddling) which I bought. It certainly works with Home Assistant (or with it's own app) but it's yet another "project" where I bought it, set it up and have done absolutely nothing further with it.
As that one may be of interest here I'll put it on a bit of priority. It's a Broadlink device, one of these tinyurl.com/ytt8fedc but I got it for less than a tenner.
