The lg has simplink (CEC) which turns off/on the appleTV box. This makes it a pain in the *** when creating activities in the harmony elite. I currently have a work around by waiting 7 seconds after tv shutdown to turn it back on.

Was wondering if a better solution would be to install the harmony NS and write a program that tests for the power state of the appletv and if off turn on. Will I be able to accomplish this with the NS?
 

BTW you cannot disable simplink and have it stick if you are using earc. 

The harmony can't detect power state of a device.

Can’t you turn off CEC in the Apple tv?

You can but the LG turns it back on. Seems to be a known issue if you use eArc.

What about like this?

 

1. Open the Apple TV
2. Go to Settings
3. Remotes and Devices
4. Control TVs and Receivers
   • Click it to turn it off

Already off in appletv, lg overrides and turns on and off.

Truly a pita…

Here is an idea:

Genius! Thanks so much just ordered a blocker. Will revert if it solves the issue.

Interesting.  I have had a couple of LG TVs and I thought they also had the ability to disable the CEC feature, or whatever they call it.

From Grok it appears the appletv is very aggressive with cec.  Just received the blocker and it works perfectly. Now I have consistent automation using the harmony elite remote.
