The Essence does of course send the "power on" via the sound signal to the attached speakers - can you use this signal in the PowerLink to trigger your BeoLink Passive?

I must admit, that I don't understand the question.
Could anyone explain, what the 'problem' is, please?

There is a tv - and there is a BV

I think the simple answer is that the Essence can not be connected to a MasterLink Passive unit to drive speakers - even if there is one of the new ML/NL connection boxes involved.
As illustrated in the following cabling diagram, the Essence is very much a stand alone unit - no connectors for anything other than the Internet and Speakers and INPUT from a Line IN ... not any output to anything like a link system ... only output to speakers !
BeoNut since '75
But surely if one of the Essence's PL speaker outputs was connected to a Passive PL input, it would trigger it to switch on, but of course only if the Passive were operating stand-alone rather than as part of an ML system?
But I am not sure if this is what the original poster was asking!
Me neither!
That would be an easy task - if you use the right PL cable.
P.S. He could use a 1611 (as MasterLink driver) to connect to MasterLink (and a BL passive).
But that is probably not, what he wants to (asks for)!
