How do I set up my HomeKit light strip to automatically turn on when I turn on the Apple TV? I tried adding this automation in the Home app but the Apple TV doesn’t show up as a controllable accessory.
 
Probably with the use of a smart plug...or just create a scene that you trigger for the Lightstrip to come on before turning on the apple tv.
 
I’d like to have the light strip turn on when I turn on the Apple TV via remote. I tried to create that automation but the Home app doesn’t list the Apple TV as an accessory that would trigger the light to turn on.

Anyone know how to do this as a shortcut?
 
Just create a new shortcut and add each action. Apps> Apple TV remote> wake Apple TV, and then Apps> Home> control (name of your home)> set ( name of your light strip). You can create a second shortcut in that format to turn it all off. Good luck
