I've got one on my backlog that I already have the parts for, just need to set it up.

We leave the radio on for our dog when we're not home. I have a z-wave button that triggers Home Assistant to turn on the AVR to radio and set the volume to a decent level. But on rare occasion the Shield Android TV plugged into the same AVR sees it turning on as an invitation for it to also turn on(which it should if we were actually setting the AVR to it's input source). And when it turns on, the TV also turns on.

I could detect the AVR is on the wrong source and switch it back to radio, but the TV would stay on because the AVR outputs info about the radio channel to the TV.

I don't keep my TV on the network so my plan is to setup a WiFi controlled IR blaster that will turn off the TV when I detect the AVR is on the wrong input.
