MMM-Remote-Control can not turn ON monitor

anaghd · Nov 2, 2021, 4:06 PM

@sdetweil That is weird. Can you send the "sudo echo ‘standby 0’ | cec-client -s -d 1” command in terminal and turn the monitor off?

@anaghd it does not turn off

anaghd · Nov 2, 2021, 4:14 PM

@sdetweil I almost know our problem has something to with the monitorStatusCommand. Both the monitorONCommand and the monitorOffCommand first get the status from the status command and then decide whether to run or not. But I don’t know how to fix this.
Maybe @ezeholz can help here?

the tv sees the pi connection but it is not connectable (from the TV side)

note this is Ubuntu 21.04 on pi.

@sdetweil sorry, this is way beyond my pay grade

sdetweil · Nov 2, 2021, 4:45 PM

@anaghd mine too!

anaghd · Nov 2, 2021, 6:02 PM

@sdetweil See if this gives you any ideas. I couldn’t figure it out.

@anaghd vcgencmd turns off the hdmi port… not the monitor… and then I get an ugly no input message

anaghd · Nov 2, 2021, 7:51 PM

@sdetweil I was wondering if we can do something similar to what they have done but modify it for cec utilities, especially in regards to the status command.
