Locking my kids out of the tv


Recommended Posts

So I'm having some difficulty keeping my kids locked out of the living room TV when we don't want them on there. I currently have an experience button set up in a separate room that is only visible on our phones but somehow my six-year-old is getting past it. Not sure if it has to do with the Samsung TV and the 30 second delay between commands but I think I've got something wrong in my programming that it's not keeping the TV locked down. It's currently run through a receiver for all inputs. It's currently programmed so that if the video source changes it waits 5 seconds and then Powers down the room. I honestly don't care if they listen to audio but I need to stop them from watching TV. The reason I suspect the Samsung TV is the issue is because everything seemed to work fine with the LG TV that was there before.

Any advice or help would be appreciated

I just did the same thing but I added a control4 receptacle switch and I just shut the power off to the TV on a schedule

Sounds good, then is there a way to program a check if tv is on, if not power off room. This way it would shut off the receiver?
