Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Is there any harm in leaving the power switches on pinball machines on and turning the power on/off from the wall? I'd like to plug my machines into smart switches so I can say, "Alexa, turn on the Arcade" and have everything turn on at once. I just didn't know if this was any harm in this.
Perfectly fine. That's how my Alexa is setup "Alexa turn on the Pinball Parlor".
Probably using routines to accomplish this. It’s a flow chart that starts with “when you say Alexa”, what happens? Then what happens after that? Etc. My routine starts all 13 machines, controlled by 4 smart plugs lumped together in one group. I’m pretty sure instead of me having Alexa turn on the group I instead have it turn on smart plug 1, then 2, etc, and end it with dimming the lights and starting the pinball music playlist.
