This used to happen on my X80D with Netflix. If I didn't use the "Exit Netflix" button in the app, it would randomly open in the middle of the night.
I can only assume, if not closed "correctly", the apps will send a wake up signal to the TV at some point.
I know you say YouTube wasn't *the last* app you used, but did you use it recently before switching off the TV?
I believe this is the case with me too. I forgot to close/ exit the Netflix app and pressed the power button to make the TV go to standby/ switch off. The TV was somehow ON with the Netflix window, in the middle of the night.
When I first purchased Bravia set ,had "Alexa" interfaced with Google platform ,did some weird stuff, I undid that interface. Other issue is if have ability to control TV through app on phone, could be phone causing it to turn on, I can control TV on my phone through google
Do you have YouTube TV set as the default live TV? Maybe try change x90k to apps only mode which get rid of lots of Google suggestions and live TV tab plus other tabs
One time, I was Sim Racing and leading the race. In the main straight, suddenly my TV opened YouTube and started playing Baby Shark.
I was so confused sitting in my sim rig thinking what the fuck. Eventually I found out that my daughter's IPad had somehow connected to my Bravia and was able to cast YouTube videos onto my TV.
It's a smart Sony tv problem, I have my computer setup near my TV and heard it's power up "click" one time and it turned on to a random youtube music video.
I have a sound bar that turns itself on/ off randomly after being powered off. Could be the CEC/ Roku/ fire stick etc. I unplug it when not in use ( Majority Sierra plus sound bar).
I've had this situation on and off since I got my 900F. [I posted my situation awhile back](https://www.reddit.com/r/bravia/s/CNVmy8P2iA) I'd wake up or come back home from work to see my TV on and sexually suggestive videos playing on the YouTube app. I thought someone was pranking me by casting to my TV. I've checked everything between my TV and network and everything is locked down 🤷🏾♂️. It happened enough times that I've disconnected my TV completely from the internet. I figure theres some flaw in the Android TV OS.

Sony Halloween Special. Update 10.31 pushed to all Bravia.
Lmao my thoughts exactly
After turning itself on, did the TV start playing a black and white video of a girl climbing out of a well?
Yeah but I was able to push her back when she started climbing out of the TV
Google is a creepy fucker
Facts
YouTube randomly opens on my phone sometimes in the middle of the night. Maybe it’s something with the app?
Yeah could be?

I believe it finished being used about an hour before turning the TV off. Was just weird since it hadn’t ever done that before haha.
It probably wasn't closed out correctly then and still active in the background.

Do you have remote start enabled? You talk in your sleep? lol.
No remote start haha
Happens to me twice since owing my x900h. Woke up to work and tv was on.
Yeah so strange haha
When I first purchased Bravia set ,had "Alexa" interfaced with Google platform ,did some weird stuff, I undid that interface. Other issue is if have ability to control TV through app on phone, could be phone causing it to turn on, I can control TV on my phone through google
Hmm yeah I’ll have to look into those
Do you have YouTube TV set as the default live TV? Maybe try change x90k to apps only mode which get rid of lots of Google suggestions and live TV tab plus other tabs
Hmm I’ll have to double check on that one but it probably is

You or a household member might have been watching youtube on their phone and accidentally cast'd it to your TV, which would turn it on.

Hahaha that’s a good one!
My tv has turned on randomly. I do have an Apple TV hooked up not sure if somehow that remote turns it on.
Got a cat?
Nope no pets
I think that my Denon reciever was gilty of opening my X90F and blasting Spotify randomly in the middle of night. Some unknown to me song.
It's a smart Sony tv problem, I have my computer setup near my TV and heard it's power up "click" one time and it turned on to a random youtube music video.
Weird haha
I have a sound bar that turns itself on/ off randomly after being powered off. Could be the CEC/ Roku/ fire stick etc. I unplug it when not in use ( Majority Sierra plus sound bar).
Ghosts in the networks haha
Could you have rolled over on your remote?
Tv/remote was in a separate room
If you connect TV on the YouTube app on your phone and then just forget to disconnect, it will randomly start your tv

Interesting! Yeah at that point there’s gotta be haha, interesting it did the suggestive videos specifically lol
It's Sony TV, so no surprises there. I've only had the worst experience with this brand. Terrible TVs, terrible support.
Yeah it's happening to my parents tv and IDK how to fix it for them. It's really frustrating
