This video series covers upgrading a 2012 era Home Theater system to the latest 4k OLED TV and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound.

Part 9c covers programming the Harmony Elite to turn on the SmartThings outlet to power the auxiliary devices I want to come on when the TV comes on:
1) Subwoofer
2) PC Fans that cool the receiver in a closed cabinet
3) Chromecast Ultra 64 streaming device
4) Millennium Falcon Light (provides some ambient light to the room which I like)
5) Dreamland Clock. I inherited this clock from my brother who had a super fancy home theater
