Power down is no problem. I believe the obstacle to automation will be powering it on.

AFAIK there is no way to do that from the programming port and meatware has to press the on button. Otherwise I'd be thrilled about automating it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "idle current". While it was waiting to be flashed, it's a consistent 8 mA. That's the only way I could determine it's really "on". While flashing it was 5.9 mA.
