Hello there.
My FW-49BZ35F TV is frequently pulled by Home Assistant every 10s. Even if it is OFF, it can’t go sleeping. This is noticeable by looking on power consumption, dropping any packet from HA to IP_ADDRESS:80 using iptables permits the TV to enter sleep mode, otherwise the Wi-Fi (same with Ethernet) interface is still pingable and no REAL sleep is reached.
I’m not interested in wake up my TV programmatically (wake on lan), but I definitely want to save these watts after I turn it OFF. As a workaround I tried to disable the 2 entities created by the integration, it works. I have tried to create an automation which disables the entities after the tv goes from ‘on’, to ‘off’ status (re-enabling after 5 minutes). That would be enough to permit the sleeping while keeping the integration working and saving money as well 
Unfortunately I haven’t found any method to disable an entity programmatically.
What can I do? Is there any real solution for this?
