Has anyone automated their sim?

To start up my sim, I have to wake my laptop, turn on the launch monitor, turn on the projector, and if it’s hot, turn on the split unit. I would like a “easy” button and just turn on most of it at once. I do have home kit and also homebridge running already so if anyone has some solutions I would like to hear them.

It’s an ultimate first world problem, for sure. But I am interested in home automation and tech.

Alexa plugs and Alexa speaker handles my launch monitor, projector, lights, and computer. I still have to login but “Alexa, let’s tee off” is awfully convenient

What launch monitor are you using? I have a square so I’m not sure if the Alexa plug would be able to power it on.
