OttawaHacker Posted March 18 Posted March 18 My current TV doesn't have CEC but I'm planning to replace it with something that has CEC support and would really like to automate the on/off thing... Is cec-utils supported or is there an alternate kernel API? 0 Quote
ArmBoy1988 Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) @OttawaHacker What specifically do you mean regarding "on/off" thing? Previously, I updated the Kodi config for for my CEC remote to manage how certain functions work with the remote in CEC. This was done through the menus in Kodi. If you can explain what you're trying to do, I'll try it on my setup. I usually leave the CEC setup so that the TV and other devices are not turned off or switched to/from when the events happen. If you go to Settings / System / Input / Peripherals and then select CEC Adapter, a list of items that can be modified is displayed. I don't know if all of them work or if it depends on your TV, other devices etc. Have a look. Let me know if you want me to post the list. Edited March 18 by ArmBoy1988 0 Quote

The CEC supports putting devices in sleep and waking them up. If this works in Kodi then the standard kernel interface is available in Armbian. The important part is the hardware support - very few devices support sending CEC data but if Kodi can change input and turn on/off already, then we should be all good with Armbian and OPI5. 0 Quote
