I wound up getting a TrickleStar Advanced PowerStrip that senses whether the control device (such as a TV) is either on, off, or in a standby state, and automatically removes and restores supplied power to the switched outlets based on the status of the control device. \r\n\r\nGot it on Amazon [here](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JPDYYSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1). Works like a charm.","subreddit_name":"bravia","author":"dnadosanddonts"},{"body":"If your TV is new enough and has a new enough version of HDMI-CEC, then the Firestick and TiviMate do know when your TV is off. In this case, TiviMate stops streaming the channel automatically when you turn the TV off. There is an option in TiviMate to automatically start the last channel when TV is turned on. Make sure this settings is off. Also, when you are watching a channel, you can easily stop the stream by holding the back button for a few seconds. I have multiple TVs that are working perfectly in this way.\r\n\r\n\r\nNow if you have an older TV that doesn't support the feature described above, then you're sort of out of luck. You can try two different options:\r\n\r\n1- Power your Firestick from the USB service port on the TV. Sometimes these will provide enough power to use the Firestick and, USUALLY, these ports do not provide power when the TV is off so you Firestick would obviously turn off and thus stop streaming.  \r\n\r\n\r\n2- Sometimes the USB service ports do not provide enough power for a Firestick to work properly. You can instead purchase a  [master control/ switched power strip](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JPDYYSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1). This power strip has switched outlets that turn on/off when the TV is turned on/off. You can power your Firestick with one of these switched outlets.\r\nBoth of the above options mean that every time you power on the TV, you'll have to wait 30-60 seconds for the Firestick to boot. TiviMate does also have an option to auto open the app on boot. FWIW, I also have 1 older TV that is setup using option 2 and is working well for me.\r\n\r\nWith all this said, I do with TiviMate had a sleep timer function so I wouldn't have to use my TVs sleep timer. But otherwise I love this app!","subreddit_name":"TiviMate","author":"augster"},{"body":"I'm not familiar with Sonos or the app, but it sounds like this could be accomplished with a Logitech Harmony Hub. You can create an Activity to start the receiver and select the input. Harmony also has Sonos support but to what extent I dunno as I've never used one.\r\n\r\nAdditionaly, if you're still interested in a 12v Trigger alternative, then you could use a smart outlet that has 1 main control port + x controlled ports.  When the device plugged into the main port is turned on/off, the same occurs to the devices in the controlled port.

I use a power strip that has a \"control\" outlet along with another four \"switched\" outlets.  If the item plugged into the control outlet is turned on, then the items in the switched outlets can now turn on as well. Likewise, if I cut power to the control outlet, the switched outlets no longer receive any power at all.  \r\n\r\nSo my pc is in the control outlet, and I have my arcade1up LCD and a set of PC speakers and sub in the switched outlets.  My PC is wired to an external power button that will shut down Windows and when I turn that PC on and off, my LCD and speakers also turn on and off.  So yeah, if you can figure out the best way to shut down the Pi from someone else on this sub, perhaps you can use it with a strip like I have to have a one-step solution.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JPDYYSM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_X0n8FbCMKKABE?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1","subreddit_name":"Arcade1Up","author":"misterkeebler"},{"body":"I know that you cannot fit a power strip behind the TV but maybe there is a way to place this one inside the wall.

Like most advanced HDMI features, cross brand operation can be finicky, so if you can't get it to work, there is a low(er) tech solution that I used for years. An ecosmart power strip can sense if a certain device is powered on, or in standby, and power off the other outlets when that happens. You can often find them pretty cheap. Here's the first example I found: https://www.amazon.com/TrickleStar-Outlet-Advanced-PowerStrip-Joules/dp/B00JPDYYSM\r\n\r\nI have used one of these to control TV power with the receiver for years until I bought my new 4k that could correctly communicate with my receiver.

The idea is that whatever is plugged into *that* socket gets continuous unimpeded power so that the IR detection is powered up and you can use the remote, at which point the board's current sensing notices the extra power draw and switches the *other* sockets on. And to clarify, the TV goes in the sense socket, the backlight power supply goes in one of the switched sockets.\r\n\r\nFor context this is the cheapest one I found on Amazon, just to identify what one looks like (it labels what I'm calling the \"sense socket\" the \"control socket\"): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JPDYYSM\r\n\r\nI'm also very curious about what you said about the TV. It sounds like you may have gotten those two buttons to push out of the service manual, and already done that digging. What's the actual error code? That's fascinating and I wonder why it's happening.\r\n\r\nFinally, if you do decide the relay solution is the way to go, you may end up appreciating posting to /r/electronics - finding 12V that's only energized when the rest of the TV is on sounds like a small rainy day project :P","subreddit_name":"techsupportmacgyver","author":"i336_"},{"body":"I've  used [this](https://www.amazon.com/TrickleStar-Outlet-Advanced-PowerStrip-Joules/dp/B00JPDYYSM/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=control+power+strip\u0026amp;qid=1596201472\u0026amp;sr=8-4) with good results for my power amp.

One outlet is the master/control and it measures current through that outlet to control if other outlets are off or on.
