There is an LMS pref regarding power state synching in a group
(Prefs>Player_name>Synchronize>"Synchronize power")
If set to yes, then powering on/off one player will power on/off all
players in the sync group.

I never use power sync, I use the powersave plugin instead --and
ServerPowerControl can work too.
I just tested though -LMS 7.9, recent enough-, and power off in a sync
group doesn't seem to work well with players that use IR Blaster (the
"slave" SB3 did power off, but the amp did not.)

Personally I would loop among the players list and power off each one
separately, and keep power states sync off  in LMS prefs. Won't be any
slower, and would probably be more robust.

Don't forget to make your script resistant to zombie players. If you use
more than 1 LMS server, or mySB.com, players that have moved to another
server tend to linger in the list of attached players for a few
seconds/minutes. Sending a command to a zombie player will throw an
error.
