CEC with Kodi/Pulseeight-Adapter + AVR, but without CEC-capable TV/Projector #657

Closed J4nsen closed 2 months ago

J4nsen commented 6 months ago

Hi, I want to control my HTPC with my AVR remote. My foolish assumption was that I just need to buy a Pulseeight HDMI Cec adapter to be able to control my HTPC running Kodi. In my setup I have a Sony projector (VPL-XW5000ES) that does not support HDMI CEC.

As I just found out, the HDMI CEC spec seems to requires a TV to be present. :( Everything works fine if I connect a TV with CEC support, but nothing happens if the projector is connected to the AVR.

Is there any way around this?

I have four logs of cec-client

Any ideas are very much appreciated :)

Hi,

Our client wont do this natively, you would need to make changes to the code to do it.

Thanks

I finally got it working by emulating a running TV with esphome and esphome-native-hdmi-cec.

It takes the physical and logical address of a TV (0.0.0.0 and 0x0) and responds to three requests (vendor id, physical address and power on state). I think the most important one is reporting to be powered on.

For anyone wanting to do the same, here is the code:

esphome:
  name: iot-esp8266-hdmi-cec-heimkino
  platformio_options:
    board_build.f_cpu: 160000000L

esp8266:
  board: d1_mini

external_components:
  - source: github://Palakis/esphome-hdmi-cec

 hdmi_cec:
    pin: D1 
    address: 0x0 
    physical_address: 0x0000 
    promiscuous_mode: true 
    monitor_mode: false

    on_message:
      - opcode: 0x8C # Request Vendor ID
        then:
          hdmi_cec.send: 
            destination: !lambda return source;
            data: [135, 0, 0, 57]
      - opcode: 0x8F # Request Power Status
        then:
          hdmi_cec.send: 
            destination: !lambda return source;
            data: [144,0]
      - opcode: 0x8F # Request Power Status
        then:
          hdmi_cec.send: 
            destination: 0xF
            data: [144,0]                 
      - opcode: 0x83 # Request Physical Address
        then:
          hdmi_cec.send: 
            destination: !lambda return source;
            data: [132,0,0,0]
