Turn On Feature

I propose a feature where you can set the time for the TV to turn on. I like having my TV turn on in the morning and using it almost as an alarm clock. There is already the sleep timer. This is essentially the opposite.

Re: Turn On Feature

What player do you have? I am looking for a Roku that has a sleep timer function.  My refurbished streaming stick + doesn't support this.   Thanks!

Re: Turn On Feature

I have two TCL Roku TVs. If you are using a stick, it can't control how the TV itself operates.

Re: Turn On Feature

Is there such a TV alarm clock feature or channel on a Smart TV?

If so, how to access it?

Turn On Feature (alarm clock) on a Roku TV - how to add it?

Almost 2 years after this initial post and no wake up option was added to Roku yet. To me, this feature is critical! If anyone in the community knows how to make a Roku TV turn on at a a certain hour on a certain channel, please share it with us. I have to wake up at odd hours and I sometimes cannot hear the phone alarm. I sometimes sleep with my TV on, to avoid Fallin asleep so deep and missing the alarm on my phone. My previous smart TV broke and now I have a Sharp Roku TV that is impossible to set up to do this. Not happy at all, because I actually don't even use the Roku part, don't need it.

Re: Turn On Feature (alarm clock) on a Roku TV - how to add it?

I got a badge for posting this 2 weeks ago, but no feedback or advise. I'm going back to work in a few days and this has to be solved. I found some information on the internet suggesting that installing google home should help, but I cannot find a way to install this app on my Sharp Roku TV. And even with it installed, it says that not many channels can be connected to it. I wand my morning news channel to appear when the tv turns on. I was hoping to get a lot of support here, don't like wasting my time writing for nobody. Really disappointed ☹️! Buying this TV was a big mistake!

If it is a Roku TV, it must be a smart tv, right? I don't have Alexa or another Google assistant enabled device. I only have this tv and 2 smartphones with Google on both. Will that do? Or I will have to buy another device?

that should be enough, but you would need to connect the device to your google account so it can control it,

Re: Turn On Feature years later

I know this is years later, but I was wanting the same thing and if you download the google home app you can do it. I don’t use any google devices and it worked just fine. All you do is connect your Roku device then set up an automation for it to turn on at a specific time in the morning or throughout the day!
