MMM-Remote-Control can not turn ON monitor

sdetweil

@anaghd no, but you could have put the same strings in your custom commands

@sdetweil I tried doing that initially but that did not work for me.

@anaghd said in MMM-Remote-Control can not turn ON monitor:

“vcgencmd display_power 0 && sudo echo 'standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1”;

I am not a programmer but there seems to be a syntax error in this line of code (and the next one too). Shouldn’t there be a closing ’ after the opening 'standby ?

@anaghd
Even adding what I think is the correct syntax I still get an error. I am having the same issue where the TV will not turn back on after it goes to “sleep”. Initially (with unmodified code), as long as it is searching for the HDMI signal it will turn the monitor back on; however, when the signal search stops these commands will not turn the TV back on.
Here is the error:
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…

@stevegoble do you have the cec code installed?

do

cec-client

if you get command not found
do

sudo apt install cec-utils
