I think you missed the point, the remote app sends a signal to AppleTV to turn it on. I am not sending any signals to AppleTV to turn it on. There is also no HDMI activity, it is purely network. So AppleTV is waking for whatever reason. It shouldn't wake until I tell it to.
The Apple tv isn't turning itself on, it's indicating HDMI/network activity whilst it sleeps.
When you use the remote app on the phone to turn it on, the light registers network activity, then it turns itself on, but only because you've told it to.
Try this: use your remote app on the iPhone to log into the Apple tv, use the physical remote to put the Apple tv to sleep, now use the iPhone remote app to log out from the Apple tv. The LED comes on for 30 seconds to indicate network activity, but your Apple tv doesn't wake up/turn itself on.
Your TV doesn't decide to wake itself does it?
Your VCR/DVD/BR players don't turn themselves on?
Your PC Doesn't? ... unless you've scheduled it.
Your car doesn't randomly start itself?
I've had tvs turn themselves on when connected to a device by HDMI or SCART that has been turned on, similarly I've had connected devices turn themselves on when the tv is turned on, however once again the Apple tv isn't turning itself on, it's LED is coming on.
Yes my Mac will wake up when it receives appropriate network activity, and this has nothing to do with scheduling and my car may not start on it's own but it's lights come on when I press the remote locking.
In your experience the LED illuminating may appear random, perhaps because of something your router is doing or because of interference, but the Apple TV is only registering this visibly, mine does exactly the same but because I don't have network issues/interference it does it in connection with something I'm aware of.
