    Will putting a TV on an automated power switch kill the PSU over time?

    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

    My upstairs TV sits on a power bar. It gets turned off and on several times a day using the power bar so the TV is completely off and not in standby. It's been like this for 5 years now with no apparent problems.

    I also do this for my main PC. When it's not in use, I turn it completely off via power bar switch. I have been doing this for 15+ years and never had any PSU problems.

        the OP post write TV's ( more than one set ) the answer at post 2 was for one TV and one Main PC booth are separated.. . here we are in trouble if one set of this TV's group got defect at any reason, will caused load current., even if the other will effected by 1%. we need to drop this 1% to ZERO by connecting the main timer line first to AC voltage stabilizer and then to TV's, it will take care of TV's in case this matter happened.
