Hey guys and gals thanks for stopping by.
I recently got hooked on using smart plugs around my house to control things like lighting with my Alexa. And long story short I decided to pick up the TP-link smart plugs at Sams to use for my TV. Anyway I can get them connected and working just fine, thing is my TV, I'd assume like most TVs, require you to hit a power button on your remote to actually start watching TV. So now my plug is pretty useless lol and I am kinda disappointed. So all my plug really does is gives my TV power and turn it off on command. So if anyone could give me some ideas I'd appreciate it.
Is there maybe a way when I turn my TV on from the main power that it automatically turns on the TV so I don't need to press the power button on my remote to start watching?
This thread is pretty confusing lol so I hope you can understand it.
Thanks!
