So I can turn it on/off using Home Assistant and my phone.
Why not use cheap $10 IR blaster for that? it will connect to home assistant in same manner.
Because it's one more thing that I have to own and maintain; versus a built-in feature?
What a useless feature. Reinventing a worse remote.
It is precisely so I _don't_ have to touch the actual TV remote ever.
