🔎 What You Can Do with It


Detect when a TV remote button is pressed (e.g., volume, power, navigation).

Send CEC commands back to the TV (like cec_init.PowerOnDevices() ).

Control HDMI-connected devices programmatically.

⚠️ If You're on Banana Pi
You need a Pulse-Eight USB-CEC adapter for this to work on Banana Pi since the onboard
HDMI doesn't pass CEC.

Let me know:

Do you have a USB-CEC adapter?

Or do you want to hook up an Arduino or ESP to read CEC signals from HDMI pin 13?

I can help either way.
