Denon X4700H & LG C9: Upgrading a 2012 Home Theater to 4k OLED & Dolby Atmos Surround Sound -Part 9b

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

Part 9b covers selecting a method of turning on the auxiliary devices I want to come on when the TV comes on:
1) Sub-woofer
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

I was using a "smart" power strip (TrickleStar 7 Outlet Advanced PowerStrip) that will turn on some outlets when the device plugged into the "control" outlet starts drawing power, but after week that started acting flaky and didn't work all the time.

The choices to replace the TrickleStar power strip are:
1) Questionable IR controlled plug from China
2) Arduino style power strip that can be turned on/off by a DC voltage:
