    The only thing I'm aware of, some type of power conditioner that allows you to power up the system and turn it off. There may be one with a trigger so you can just plug in the units without remote.

    You can use a smart plug (if you Google it you will get lots of options). Then you can control the smart plug from your phone or your voice (via Alexa or similar).
    You connect the smart plug to the house outlet and your device to the plug.

    12v trigger switches 120V.

    I use a Xantech AC-1 to turn on my older MC 275 and MR 77 from the power control output of my C 2300.
