Anynet+ HDMI CEC

You mean 5 in standy of with a blanc screen?.
If that’s the case it’s not worth all the trouble of trying to get CEC to work ;)

@mdlefevere no. 0.5 (one half of one watt) is off/standby
blanc screen is on, so 82 or 65 for me…

I have not measured power consumption

I have 5 SBCs plugged into the same circuit (w the 55in, 4 hdmi ports)
pi0
2 - pi3 (1 runs homeseer to control my lighting)
pi 4
odroid

and another pi4 I just got with the 7in touch screen and case

and then jetson nano in the hall (with the 43in)

and a mac mini
and my intel desktop (never off, but I power off the screens at night when i leave the office)

Thanks for the info.

I’ve setup a Pi3 with CEC and this seems to be working.
Even after a long time the TV turns on. My Samsung also instantly recognized the Pi3 as a CEC device unlike the Pi4. It had some struggle with the new Pi.

Could this be a Pi4 related issue?, or just Samsung?.

@mdlefevere no idea… CEC doesn’t work from pi3, but does partially from pi4…
not from any other SBC

@mdlefevere

Could this be a Pi4 related issue?, or just Samsung?.

or HDMI cable?

Weird. I switched back to a Pi3 and it’s working fine now.
Connected it with a HDMI<>HDMI cable to the HDMI Arc port on the TV. The TV instantly popped up with a CEC connected Raspberry.

Left it for over a night and just now it perfectly started.
