Turning the tv off while its already off, actually turns the tv on again

[psy0rz]

This is a big issue for home automation: I always want to send a "tv off" signal if my system detects i've left my house. Now this is not possible since it will turn on the tv when its already off :(

It seems this isnt always the case. Sometimes it takes a while for the network part to actually shut off. So long the network part of the tv is active this issue will occur. Maybe we could add a extra check or something?

Hmm, this wasn’t the case in the past, to turn on you had to use wake on lan and off is an explicit command... I’ll experiment and see what I can do

For me the program kinda crashed and I had to force restart it. After I restarted it, I tried yet again to turn off the TV (which is still off at this moment) and the program froze again.

OK, I'm closing this bug as it seems to be absolutely nothing to do with my code, I'm seriously not entertaining other peoples bugs here and will only respond to bug reports which have been identified and reproducible on the command line tool I provided.

I've seen multiple extremely poor attempts at integrating this with alexa now and I think you need to start at the first point of failure, which isn't my code.
