TV Power Toggle - TV turns off when switching activities

This discussion is 13 years old. It predates today's Roomie Remote X, and the app names, menus, features, pricing, and device details below have changed substantially since 2013. Treat it as historical reference — see Support and current compatibility for how things work today.

In short

My TV only has the command for Power Toggle. I have two Activities configured, one for watching TV and my other is Watch — Staff replied: “Toggled power devices should have Track Power State turned on (which is on by default). In the case of a TV, it would also usually be marked as Power for All Activities, and make sure it is not marked in any specific Act”

Question 2013-06 · older version

My TV only has the command for Power Toggle. I have two Activities configured, one for watching TV and my other is Watch Plex. When I switch from Watch TV to Watch Plex the TV does not turn off. However, when I go from Watch Plex back to Watch TV the TV turns off.

On my TV Device I have both Automatic Setup options turned off for Power ON on all Activities and Track Power State.

Any Suggestions?

Toggled power devices should have Track Power State turned on (which is on by default). In the case of a TV, it would also usually be marked as Power for All Activities, and make sure it is not marked in any specific Activities as a 'Power Device' as it is not specific to a given Activity.

Thank you.
