Sorry for the late reply. In the meantime I bought a Harmony, and configured shutdown/power on as follows: I remapped the sleep button to shutdown according to the post I linked above.I took my TV's remote (any IR remote does the job though) and assigned a button to wake/suspend in the Flirc software. This button now turns on/off my PC.I manually added a command named "Power On/Off PC" to Flirc in the Harmony software. To make this work, I had to teach Harmony the IR command with my TV's remote controller. (With Flirc disconnected, otherwise it would have turned off my PC during the process. :))I added Flirc's new "Power On/Off PC" command to the related activities in the Harmony software.I synced all changes, so Harmony now turns on/off my PC along with other devices.On the top of this, I use a non-SE version of Flirc. I figured it can also turn on my PC from S5 as my motherboard (ASRock B75 Pro3-M) gives power to the USB ports after shutdown and also supports keyboard wake up. I suppose this can be done with the majority of modern motherboards.

Hi, I found another solution to this problem that deals with some registry tweaking (check the posts at the end of the topic). It's basically about remapping the sleep button in Windows to turn off the computer. Once it's done, you can set up your Harmony to put the computer to sleep, but this way your remote will actually shut down the computer. This works for me with Windows 7 and also with Windows 10, however, I use a regular IR remote instead of a Harmony. I hope this information was useful though.
