To be honest, I think I'll give up on it and put the sensor on my freezer
instead, which is actually a bit more usefull when you think about it!!

When it actually becomes important for Comfort to know the TV status, I'll
think about some other method of getting that info into the HA system. To
be
honest, right now I wouldn't use that information anyway.
