(UK) Sky+HD IP control was created by andrew
Probably one just for the UK users. I just found a Python project that seems to allow full IP control of a Sky+HD satellite box including power on (from standby) and power off. The project was designed to allow communication using mqtt which I believe myServer supports but I wanted an easy way to test it out so I've forked the project here github.com/andrewmk/mqtt_sky and added a very simple command line client. Using the command line client you can run things like this:
Code:
python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py backup python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py channeldown python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py channelup python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py home python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py pause python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py planner python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py play python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py power_off python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py power_on python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py search python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py select python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py up python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py down python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py left python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py right python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py yellow python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py blue python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py green python3.12.exe skyremote_cli.py red

It already responds pretty quickly but I suspect it would be even more responsive if you were running it as an mqtt server as it wouldn't have to establish a connection with the Sky box each time.
