TVs - Sony Bravia / LG and Vizio

All,

Im sure I'm missing something but trying to include my TVs in scenes or otherwise automate and control them.

I have 3 TVs of interest currently (2 Sony and 1 Vizio). Will be adding an LG soon. In any event i have them added through the Chromecast Integration, but that's as far as I have been able to get. I can see them as devices in the device list and can use the fields in that section to mute, unmute, volume up down etc, but I have not figured out a way to include them in any automation to turn on or off at times or via voice command or in a scene controlled by HE.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

Bump...any help / thoughts? Thank you.

Have you looked at using wake on LAN to turn them on?

Use Sony Bravia TV Lite driver instead of Chromecast Integration.

Thank you sir.

That driver looks much better. My question is probably naive, but how do I make use of the options. In most apps I do not see the ability to use or call on the TV. or any of the subset commands? Is it all based on custom rules?

For instance, I do not see a native way to include the TV in a scene. so then I thought I could activate Power to the TV (and subsequent commands) to be triggered by activation of the scene. Scene, however does not seem to be a defined trigger option in the rule machine.

Sorry for the noob question.
