DSW Pro500 - Individual On/Off remote codes?

Hello, I've just put together my first serious HT system (7.1) and need some help with the sub.
TV: Samsung UN55C8000
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR608
BluRay: Samsung BD-C6900
Front L/R Speakers: Polk TSi 500
Center: Polk CS20
L/R Surround + L/R Sides: Polk RM8's
Sub: Polk DSW Pro500
Everything is tied together with a Harmony One remote (awesome).
The one problem I have left is that the remote that came with the DSW Pro500 sub only has a single on/off toggle button instead of separate on/off buttons. The harmony database has the same info for this product. This wreaks havoc with all of my settings as it will either power on or off the sub when unwanted (because it is toggling). I imagine its far fetched, but I was curious if there are discrete on/off functions and if they are accessible via IR remote. If not I guess I will have to remove the sub control from the harmony and manually turn on/off the sub when I want to use it, which I hope to avoid.
This isn't a problem if I only do one "activity" on the harmony, like "watch tv". It turns everything on and sets the correct inputs, etc. The problem comes into play if I then switch to a different activity, like watch a bluray, as it will try to power on the sub by toggling, which turns it off because it was already on. Also then, if the sub is off and I power off the whole system with the harmony, the sub then turns on. Not what I would like to happen, obviously.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Why not have the subwoofer on an auto-on mode?

Because I like to over complicate things
That and I didn't notice that 3rd position on the switch on the back of the sub :rolleyes: I shall give it a go.
Thanks! -
The Harmony remote is supposed to remember the power states of the different devices without discrete power codes. Not all my devices have discrete codes, and I've not run into the issue you have. Something is FUBAR'd.
