Good afternoon all,

I received a unique request. I’ve been researching and I am coming up short. I am looking for a solution to automatically switch TV inputs. The TVs normally are streaming content from Hulu, etc, but every X amount of time, I’d like for the TV to switch over to Input 2 to play video that I’ve created, then switch back to Hulu. I was thinking that an HDMI Switcher with a built in timer might be a thing, but I’m coming up short. Any suggestions?

    I have a logitech hub and remote. You can program different “scenes” that will automatically turn on devices and set them to correct settings. I can also activate using Alex. For example, “Alexa, turn on apple TV.” will turn on the TV, set it to the correct input, turn on my audio receiver, turn it to Apple TV (my receiver handles video switching), then hits the home button to wake my apple TV. If I want to turn it off, it will power down everything in reverse. If I want to switch to cable box, it’s set-up to know receiver needs to be set to Cable Box, and then the remote is set-up to control my cable box. It also knows that all my audio goes through a sound bar so the volume button on the remote controls surround sound.
