Siri remote programming

Can my Siri remote turn on my external soundbar? It turns on my ATV 4 and my TV but I still have to power on my Sony soundbar separately.

Apple TV 4K

If the soundbar connects via HDMI it would need to support HDMI CEC. If it's connected via optical you would have to manually program it (settings - remotes and devices - learn remote)

I have been able to program the remote to control the volume but not power. Is this even possible?

Power can only be controlled via HDMI CEC so if doesn't support CEC or is connected via optical it wouldn't be possible.
