Thinking about using them in some less important rooms of my house.
At least must have discrete power but would like to also have discrete input commands. (IR)
I'm assuming IP control is a no go.

the TCL codes in the URC database include discretes for power and input. I used the codes on a Sharp Roku TV and they worked perfectly. I imagine they will work fine for TCL as well.

Discretes for power and input are on board and working. They're all in the URC database. Lots of discretes for "channels" as well. Note that the IR codes for all ROKU tv's are the same across brands.
TCL... "Total Chinese Luxury" Seriously, I love these tv's

My handle is Tweety but I have nothing to do with the organization of similar name. I just had a really big head as a child so folks called me tweety bird. |

While I've never done it, IP control is supposedly available as well.

i attempted IP control of the Sharp Roku TV we installed. Since our boat didn't have interwebz at the time, it wouldn't connect to the wifi network and we didn't have an ethernet in place to connect to; so luckily the discrete IR codes worked.

TCL... "Total Chinese Luxury" Seriously, I love these tv's Not true, they may respond to the same IP or RF commands, but by IR some Roku TV's use a different code set. Hisense and rca Roku TV's respond to the goldstar/lg code set, where tcl and insignia respond to what I'll call the Dynex code set. Even different models tcl Roku tv are not the same, older differ from newer.

Firmware won't do thing for the oem remotes included with all these different brands, so any Roku tv responds to ALL known code sets used by roku tvs in the past?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
