Best Way to Wake a Mini?

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
What is the best method to wake a sleeping Mini? I'm currently sending a "FrontRow" command as Harmony has that command built into their software when you add a Mini device. Once that is sent, I've built delays into my macros (10s) because if the Mini isn't fully awake before the Harmony continues sending commands (activate EyeTV, open live tv window, etc) they get lost. Is there a better method of doing this that doesn't involve having to send multiple commands from the Harmony with built in delays? (It's annoying to have to hold the remote at the Mini for 10 seconds waiting for additional commands.) I would much rather handle this somehow through RB and only need the Harmony to send one button press.

On a side note, does anyone know if Elgato has addressed the issue where EyeTV won't allow the Mini to sleep? It's a known issue that best of my knowledge Elgato hasn't addressed in software.
