How can I make a flow to switch the TV on and off and continue to operate via my chrome cast?

Could you tell a bit more about your setup?

Do you have a tv that can be connected to homey? Otherwise you could consider a harmony hub. I use this also saves a clutter of remotes when you order the one with simple remote

I think it depends on the TV. If you own a newer TV the HDMI input of the chromecast could switch the TV on automatically. In my case I let chromecast cast an URL in the then part of a flow which switch the TV on. Maybe you have to configure that the HDMI port input switch on the TV in the settings of the TV before.

First check out if your TV starts with this flow automatically:
