DirecTv Integration: Cannot turn on nor off the set top box

I originally posted this in the “Configuration” list. In retrospect, this list may be more appropriate.

DirecTv Integration cannot turn on nor off the set top box

Hello Everyone, I’m a newbe to HA and trying to recreate the DirecTv remote control on a UI page. I’ve added the DirecTv integration and it is working, but only partly. I can used HA to change the channels on my set top box, but the “default remote” (the one that is create when installing the integration) will not turn off nor will it turn on the set top box (I can change channels and the like only if the set top box is turned on via the original physical DTV remote). If I press the “power” …

Nutshell: Most actions on the integration seems to function, but to turn off or on the set top box, you get a “error doink” on the TV and nothing happens.

What could I be doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

I know this is old but are these remote (wireless) Genie controllers? If yes, I do not believe you cannot poweron this device, it must be done physically.
