Surely when the tv is off or in stand by mode Alexa isn't available?
I can turn on the TV with Alexa via the Firestick as it has it's own power supply, but then that's almost the same as pressing power on the remote as I have to press the Alexa button anyway.
However I should image an echo device should be able to do it hands free.
My google home can also do this but it's useless at controlling the TV as the command has to be so device specific otherwise it doesn't understand.
Alexa is far more forgiving and just have to say Alexa turn on the TV. With Google it needs device name, model, where it's at, a real faff.

U have the Smartthings skill installed? That's necessary.
Than just say "Alexa turn <name of your TV> on". I say (in German) Alexa, turn on Samsung. Samsung is the name of my TV. As it, the TV, is in group "living room" I also can say Turn on TV in living room (in German)
