Works on UE50JU6800, but not when in standby

See title

I can use it to turn the TV off, but not on, which is what I need it for really.

When tv is in standby, it is stuck on 'Initializing device configuration'

@Jeroen-R When the TV is is standby, its network is down AFAICS. So I doubt you can wake it up this way.

That is what I thought. Looks like Samsung has really dropped the ball on this TV.

I have ordered a broadlink mini3, to send IR via Wifi. It should do the trick.

@Jeroen-R I experienced the same with my TV :-( We already discussed this in #1

My current workaround is HDMI-CEC with a Raspberry Pi which is located next to the TV anyway.
You can find a simple example here https://github.com/tdudek/node-cec-remote
For some reason I have to send the power-on command twice in order to really turn on the TV, but it works quite good.
