Nope no way to go directly to home.
Quick Synopsis:
1. Duplicate your home page in a new device and put that as the first device. Name the device start or begin. Personally I leave the name blank so no name is displayed on the button in step 2.
2. Remove all but one button on the Device Overview Template. (Advanced Mode) Make the device overview page look as you want with only one button. Make that button hold a bitmap saying anything you want.

For example my device overview screen has some graphics that say "welcome to my home theater" There is one button labeled Enter that when pushed brings you to the first device in your list. This device is a duplicate of my home page and is only used when the remote is first powered up or a new configuration is downloaded.

As bdorfman said Archer came up with this and we have just tweaked it to fit our styles.
