The current ODROID-C2 U-Boot supports Wake-Up functionality after Power Off.
You can do Power-on ODROID-C2 using the power key of HK's Remote Controller and CEC source signal.
This functionality makes just 30mW power increase compared with the old U-Boot.
And you can refer to the following wiki page to check U-Boot version on user space. Your U-Boot version should be same or higher than the above two release dates.

The ODROID user, Kwiboo implemented IR and CEC wake-up sequences for LibreELEC.
Thank you, Kwiboo!

The available IR remote key is power key of HK's IR remote controller.

After power off using shutdown -P or poweroff, pushing Power Button will make ODROID-C2 wake-up and go booting process.

If your monitor supports CEC functionalities, after power off, you can find HDMI-CEC ODROID-C2 component among the external inputs on your monitor as following.
To make the connection with ODROID-C2, select the HDMI-CEC ODROID-C2 source.
Then, it makes ODROID-C2 will process the normal booting sequence.
The below diagram shows a wake-up sequence.
The relevant commits have been merged middle of August, 2016 and you can find the history on HK u-boot github.

But be warned, we've seperated bl301 firmware source code from u-boot repository because of the issue of build failure on other platforms except X86-64 and support issue of build root.
So, if you want to adjust the routine or change the key code by yourself, please refer to the following wiki page.

ODROID-C2 consumes only 0.3Watt approximately in the power-off state even the IR receiver and CEC blocks are alive.
