Hi Tony ,

Good morning. There is no way to do this that I am aware of.  No software SDK or hardware that does this now.

The manual says you can if you use the PD-E1 power adapter:

The original post was edited....  He did not ask if the camera could be powered via its USB-C port.

Hence my original answer. 🤔 (Power on/off or camera control)
