#How to setup a scene when an integration is not available

Would like to leverage scenes for setting up my home media. I have an LG TV, but when it is powered off, HA cannot control it.

I have an IR blaster which is setup to send discrete codes. I've set each code to be a button (using ESPhome).

I'd like to be able to set the scene such that the tv is on, and a specific activity is selected on my nvidia sheild.

I have a working implementation to have the android tv remote select the correct activity, and I can control the tv via the ESPHome ir blaster.

But when I try to set up a scene, ha isn't picking up the activity, or able to turn on the tv.

Am I expecting too much from scenes, should I just build an automation instead?

Could you give the TV a dedicated static IP and send a wake on lan command? Some of the TV's have a setting to keep the wifi (if its wifi) connected but it probably comes at the expense of more power usage.
