I'm not sure if this is an issue. But my TV doesn't turn off when the firestick 4k is in sleep mode or when its idle for a long time. It just leaves the tv turned on with a black screen for hours.
HDMI CEC works fine with both my panasonic tv and firestick. I can turn off the tv and control the volume using the firestick remote. I can even say "turn off the tv" and it will turn it off the TV. Not really sure why the firestick can't turn off the display while being idle or sleep.

You have to send a command to turn the TV off. When the stick goes to sleep, it does so without sending a command to the TV.
How do I go about sending a command to turn off the tv when on sleep? do I need an alexa app? the display just stays on with a black screen.
You'll have to wake the stick and initiate the off command from the remote or Alexa. You could also use the sleep timer on your TV if it has one.
