I’m not electrically minded will seek advice first lol…dunno if things like the wattage or amps of the telly comes into play.

If it works, it should turn the telly off after a certain time if the room is left empty and turn it back on when summat moves in the room lol. Should save us a bundle.

Will let you know if it’s possible and if it is a pain in the bum….not much good if you have to get up and wave at a motion sensor all night to keep the telly on :D

Said I would let you know if this little plan would work. Unfortunately as I suspected the telly pulls more amps than these motion detectors are rated for. Just going to have to get into the habit of turning the ****** off.
