If I'm curled up comfortably with my SO, and don't want to take ten minutes of unwinding, doing whatever, then tucking back up together...

  It seems like in that case a remote control could be placed nearby -- are you also using voice activated code words to control the television ?

    Unless your SO is sitting on the remote

      If you're interested in getting more quickly and WANT to write software, you can have the Raspberry Pi control most televisions over HDMI-CEC using libcec [0], and then you just need the voice recognition stuff mentioned above (Rhasspy [1]). I had to do something similar (minus voice controls) to keep my existing remote's volume controls working with an analog volume device [2].
