Hey everyone!
This question is not quite repair related but since I'm a tech and can't help thinking like one, I wanted to get some other TV tech opinions.
Long story short I own a repair shop and I am trying to set up a power circuit to turn on 3 TV's automatically every morning and off every evening. I will be using a Zwave 15 amp switch so I can add it to my existing business automation hub.
Here is the exact switch:

My question is this: If my automated switch cuts power off to these TV's every evening, will that damage the PSU or any other component? I know if you turn a TV off with the controller or the button on the TV that it puts the TV into low power mode/rest mode in most cases depending on if the model has any advanced power setting within the GUI. But since I will only be powering off theses TV's by cutting power to outlet, is that going to cause any problems over the long run? I know it probably wont hurt the TV over the course of a couple weeks but what about over the course of a couple years? Ultimately, I don't want to build a system that is going to fail in the future. And yes, I know I can get and program a RF system to turn these TV's off with their actual RF reciever's but I want to start with the 1st option because I already have the existing infrastructure.
TIA
