I have a batting cage and we have 2 TV’s I would like to remotely turn on so when customers arrive they are already playing. We have a magnetic door lock so we can open the door. Is this possible? Has anyone had success?

    Do you have any sort of automation control system? Even something as simple as SmartThings hub or even an Alexa or Google home device that is not ancient.

    With a controller it is just a matter or mapping inputs to outputs. You could wire the magnetic door lock to also send a relay signal to the controller. The controller would then be programmed to turn on the TV when it sees that input.

    But if you are going to turn them on remotely, what will turn them off? Will you have a separate signal that people are leaving the cage?

    What will trigger the TV’s to turn off?
