The
Xbox One has the ability to send discrete commands to other devices such as a television, cable box, or audio receiver. You can, for example, set your TV to turn on/off at the same time as your gaming console, which eliminates the need for a separate remote control.

Xbox One.

Press the
Menu button of your controller and go to
Settings >

WHEN XBOX TURNS ON, SEND and
WHEN XBOX TURNS OFF, SEND:
