Would like to leverage scenes for setting up my home media. I have an LG TV, but when it is powered off, HA cannot control it.
I have an IR blaster which is setup to send discrete codes. I've set each code to be a button (using ESPhome).
I'd like to be able to set the scene such that the tv is on, and a specific activity is selected on my nvidia sheild.
I have a working implementation to have the android tv remote select the correct activity, and I can control the tv via the ESPHome ir blaster.
But when I try to set up a scene, ha isn't picking up the activity, or able to turn on the tv.
Am I expecting too much from scenes, should I just build an automation instead?
