      Hey,

      so I nearly finished my mirror, but I don’t like my TV anymore…

      I would like to turn the TV on/off with my pi and thats currently not possible with my Telefunken D32H278A3, because it has no CEC (or is there any other way?)

      Now I’m searching for a new 32" TV with CEC, but I’m not able to find a “cheap” one on eBay.
      Also its pretty hard to check if the TV has CEC, is there some list about it?

      Do you have any suggestions for what I should looking for?
      I don’t really want to spent more than 60/70€

      Regards

        i don’t know of any,

        but if u have the model number u can usually find the product info guide online.

        my TV has an on screen menu for turning on/off CEC… (doesn’t help, I can turn it on, but not off!)

          I often checked for it online with the model number, but sadly I can’t find any operation manuals

          Wait, you can turn your TV on, but not off? :o

          How is the FireTV Stick solving this? afaik they work without CEC (on/off/volume), would test that later.

            @schmaniel I think the fire stick sends infrared commands like a tv remote control

              @schmaniel Hey, today I had the luck of finding a TV like the on you looking for. I bought a LG model nr. 32LG2100 for €40 secondhand in mint condition. I looked it up and it has CEC, but it’s called Simplink for LG. Hope this helps.

                Since I have built my frame already, this TV would be a bit too big, but I found a solution for it now.
                I got a Smart Plug and the TV automatically boots up, when it lost power and gains it back :)
