Coming from a Harmony Elite setup, I’d like a sleep timer that turns off the current activity after a set period of time.
Thank you.

I case you use some home automation software in your house you can use this.

Just bumping this to say there is a way of implementing somewhat of a sleep timer if you also run Home Assistant.
By using this integration GitHub - JackJPowell/hass-unfoldedcircle: Home Assistant Integration for the Unfolded Circle Remote Two you can give HA access to control your remote.
If you set up an automation in HA using “Turn off Remote 3 Remote” as the action this will turn off any current activity but leave the remote on. You then just add a delay before this.
You can then use a input boolean helper to add a button to the HA dashboard and then expose this to the remote to add a switch to turn the sleep timer on. And then turn the switch back off at the end of the automation so the switch can then be toggled back on again the next time you use it.
You cannot specify a time, or see how long there is left on the sleep timer, so I still hope that UC implements a proper sleep timer eventually, but at least there is some way of doing this.
Hope this helps someone.
Whilst we’re on the subject of HA controlling the R2/3:
I setup an automation that, at a specific time, turns on my Watch TV activity for a defined duration then calls Power Off. This occurs a few times in the evening.
It is a wonderful security application for when we are out for the night.

That’s a great use for it!
I have a different option active. If I start my PC via WOL my Shield is also powered on. If Shield is found online I start the activity. If I shut down the PC the activity is closed and the power plug of my PC is switched off.
It is nice. I make a coffee downstairs, say “Alexa Computer1 an”, coffee is ready, I go upstairs, PC and Shield are already on
