Turn TV On, run YouTube and play a specific video

Configuration
1

I’ve been searching for a specific automation to integrate into my Home Assistant. I’d like to create a button on the dashboard that, when pressed (or triggered automatically), will turn on the TV, open YouTube, and play a specific video—such as a fireplace scene. This should be a standalone automation. In the future, it could also be triggered when I walk into the house, so that the fireplace video automatically plays on the TV.

Can you help me with this script/automation or point to the instruction/video if this automation was already made. Thank you

It would depend on your TV manufacturer and whether it’s already integrated in HA. Most major brands support what you’re asking for (eg. the LG integration supports turning on the TV & switching source) and the Media Player integration will allow you to start playing the video using media_content_id.
