They have "smart" power strips that have this functionality, they watch a "TV outlet" and when that stops drawing significant power (Tv turned off) they shut off the other outlets (I think it was designed for dvd players and surround sound amps/ cable boxes).
though doing this with a raspberry pi is more fun.

- clairity 4y agoi've had the belkin version of this for some years, the Conserve Smart AV (unfortunately discontinued): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085Q722A https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085Q722A . i have my tv as the master switch and my apple tv on an always on outlet so that it's the only other device that can wake my tv via CEC (it's my home hub as well, so need to keep it powered continuously). (edit:) oops, just remembered my A/V receiver is also plugged into an always-on outlet and can turn on the tv via CEC as well. i also have a few of the Conserve Switch models, which have a wireless radio switch but is otherwise not "smart": https://www.belkin.com/conserve-switch/P-F7C01008.html https://www.belkin.com/conserve-switch/P-F7C01008.html both have been handy and going strong. i'm still puzzled why belkin basically discontinued the conserve line of products. seemed like the logical launch off point for their smart home stuff (now under the wemo brand name).
