Use Voice Remote for Google TV with Android TV

I paired the Voice Remote for Google TV with an Android TV succesfully, and all functions work. Except for powering on the TV when it is off. This makes sense because I suspect that the Bluetooth chip is disabled when the TV is in standby. Since the Voice Remote for Google TV is capable of sending infrared signals, this should be very easy to solve. But I can't figure out how. Maybe I can pair the remote to somebody elses Google TV and setup the infrared function for the powerbutton? But I suspect that when pairing it back to the Android TV afterwards, it will also clear the infrared preference stored on the remote in the process. Does anyone know a solution for this? Because there is no technical reason this cannot be done, it's just that Android TV doesnt provide the setup menu.
