A Way to Trigger an IFTTT-like command?

by ACleverNameHere

I'm sorry if this isn't the best place to post.

I have a Bravia Android TV and I'm looking for what I thought would be a simple command but I literally can't find anything on it anywhere.

Basically, I want to set up a command where if the TV is turned off, it will also turn off a couple of TP-Link Kasa Smart Plugs.

What drives me nuts is that I'm pretty sure Samsung has that baked into Smartthings already but I cannot for the life of me find something like that in Google Home, the Kasa app, or even IFTTT and that makes me feel like I'm missing something obvious. If anyone's got any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

Edit: Okay, it looks like I'm not crazy, there really is no easy way to do what I want with what I have. I appreciate everyone's answers!

Google Home doesn't have the function to trigger things on events like that. I think the best you could do is set up a "routine" that does several actions at once (turn off TV and turn off plugs) and use that to turn off the TV.

Screenshot of Kasa smart app is showing that there's an IFTTT option under "works with Kasa": https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/HiteOOCF9ZkgJHd3v9kdElHQRsAjGiYs9I9QMnVMJXMI8YCbi_kqNOaDK0eJbN1JFR-l=w1366-h643

It looks like SmartThings doesn't support Bravia TVs.

Home Assistant supports Bravia TVs and it used to support TP-Link Kasa but unfortunately TP-Link removed the ability for HASS to control the Kasa products recently: TP-Link Remove Local API

So I don't see a "sophisticated" way of doing complex automation between the Bravia and TP-Link Kasa smart-plugs.

However, a simpler approach might work by using a master/slave power-strip such as: https://www.amazon.com/SCG-3MVR-Smart-Strip-7-Outlets-Protector/dp/B000P1QJXQ with this strip, you plug the TV into the "control" outlet and then plug in your downstream devices into the controlled outlets and those will automatically turn on/off based on the power draw from the "control" outlet, so that when the TV is on, the controlled outlets will be on and vice-versa.

Home Assistant is imo the way of doing something like this but if TP-Link cut support there is nothing you can do.

I'd definitely get something else, what's the use of a smart plug if you can't just access it locally?

You can do it with Tasker using a Google search intent or Alexa, and you'd have to trigger it from when it enters sleep mode.
