I disabled the setting on my Samsung TV that allows the Samsung Smart Remote to control Apple TV. If you have a newer Samsung TV, you press the home button on the remote, select Source, select Universal Remote, then disable the remote from controlling Apple TV. Once I did this, Apple TV stays in sleep mode. I think it must be something with the universal remote sending a signal to Apple TV causing it to wake up.

Someone suggested if you are have a Harmony controller, re-install the ATV 4k device then check off the option that the device has no ON/OFF button. So, I use the Harmony to turn of the TV and Amplifier, the I wake up the ATV 4K with it's controller. Put the ATV 4K to sleep by its controller and it's menu and wait for a black screen the use the Harmony to power off the TV and amplifier. The ATV 4k never wakes. This seams solve the problem,
