Turn Monitor on from Google TV App

Question

Is there any way to turn a TV on or off [technically putting it to sleep] using a Google TV Android app using the standard Android APIs?

I understand that I could hack something together with IR or otherwise, but I'd really just like my app to perform the same function as pushing the TV Power button on my GTV remote.

Programatically toggling power for TV is not supported at this time. Please file a feature request here: http://code.google.com/p/googletv-issues/
