My seemingly never ending quest for a universal AV remote

That's what I do on all my TVs. I use ESPHome based ones that come into home assistant, as I didn't want to worry about update rates, etc, on zigbee/zwave. I can pound away on my wifi with no issues.

No relay, so can't accidentally turn it off. $13.
