QUOTE(idoblu @ May 11 2017, 04:36 PM) want to turn on/off got remote already ma....btw my panasonic tv can download app then use app on my ipon to control the TV because i wanna try the voice control, i saw someone posted here control with Echo Dotyou should try searching for an app for your tv if you insist on full power off then look for Masterplug Master/Slave extension cord. You turn off one device which is designated the Master, the other Slaves will power off as well |

QUOTE(idoblu @ May 11 2017, 04:55 PM) Echo dot alone cannot do much. After adding this and that just to voice control over your tv, it's not worth it trust me ok noted, i will buy a led strip and sonoff to test 1st, then install Alexa Pi, no plan for TV and living room downlight 1st... looks like alot of effort needed...Your tv is controlled by IR, if you get an IR blaster, I still don't see the point. |
