Remote switch for TV and sky in an alcove unit

batman1

I recently had alcove units fitted and there's a double socket behind where the TV now sits. One half of the double socket is in use for the led lights in the units so I need to get a 3 socket extender for the other vacant socket do that I can plug in the TV, sky box and sound bar.
My question is, because the sockets are now behind the TV and in the cupboard underneath, can I get some sort of switch or socket do that I can turn them all off together at night etc ?

Or one of these and plug a 4 way extension lead into it(no heavy loads though,just TVs and box’s)

If you want fancy you go smart plugs controlled via wifi

Or you can get a remote controlled version

Either will do the job grand.

I use a teckin smart app plug with an extension lead that covers TV, Av receiver, blu ray, firestick etc

I keep the sky box always on so it’ll record things and also the broadband switch is spears on
