Automating Manual Pool Creation for Linux Desktops

I am looking to use Horizon View to provision newly built Linux Desktop in an automated way and have researched using 1) Horizon View's API; 2) the new plugin provided for VMware Orchestrator; and 3) PowerCLI commands.    My research so far indicates: 1) there is no API for Horizon View; 2) the plugin workflows for VMware Orchestrator do not cover the provisioning of Manual Desktops; and 3) the PowerCLI command for Manual Pool creation doesn't include enough parameters (need a parameter for "Machine Source" and one to enable HTML access (Blast)) to accomplish the task.  Is there another way (that I am missing) to accomplish my purposes?

Horizon for Linux does not support HTML Access client yet. So far, Horizon for Linux is unmanaged VM with limited support on auto provisioning. There are some sample PowerCLI scripts to help the automation, please check here Documentation Center for Horizon 6 version 6.1
