Apple TV - Turn on unit and tv at a specific time?

I own an apple tv 4k unit and can manually turn on both devices when I turn on apple tv. My question is, is there a way to turn on the Apple TV box and TV set together at a set time.


At 8am in the morning on weekdays, I'd would like to turn on the tv (and apple tv box) to run Sling or PlutoTV and start playing a feed. This would work as a wakeup alarm.


Is this possible within Homekit / Sortcuts or something else? Or is it currently impossible?

Hey there, Jack_V123.

This is not currently a feature that's available on the Apple TV. If that's something you'd like to see potentially added in a future release, be sure to provide Product Feedback here.


Take care.
