Control STB via TV Remote -- Quickset API?

I own a Sony XBR-75X800H Smart TV (Android 9). I was able to connect my Cisco 9865HD STB to the television via HDMI. Everything works but Power ON/OFF is silly -- one must bring up a separate UI to power off the STB rather than the STB being in sync with the Television's on/off state.

I figure I'd investigate the Quickset API to install an app to monitor the power on / off key event (keycode 26) to then trigger the necessary Quickset api call to power on/off the STB.

Anyone familiar with UEI's Quickset API for controlling Set Top Boxes? Specifically for Android and Smart TVs.
