Hey all,
I keep my iMac that serves to my Apple TV in a separate room, upstairs.

I can find WoL apps to wake the iMac from downstairs, but of yet can't find one to make it sleep, does such a thing exist? And if so where!

Try Keymote, though you'll need to have the appropriate server running Mac-side. I've used it and it's quite a handy app. (Does a bit more than put a Mac to sleep ;) )

description of how to do it can be found here (http://icedcocoa.com/blog/)

Jaadu, well yes, there is the obvious way. Dang, why didn't I think of that, especially as I use it! Doh!

Keymote is good if you program a button to sleep.
