Does anybody have the new platform feature of HDMI CEC working?

Configuration
1

There are now (v0.37?) new features of hdmi cec that I am interested in trying. Has anybody had success with this?
https://home-assistant.io/components/hdmi_cec/#configuration-example
Am I understanding correctly, that this should create a media_player entity of some sort from discovery or my hdmi_cec definition in my configuration.yaml?

My log seems to indicate it is failing to do this…

Scanning the bus from command line works and I can control my tv from hdmi_cec service in the developer tools

My configuration.yaml…

hdmi_cec:
  platform: media_player
  devices:
    TV: 0.0.0.0
    Receiver: 2.0.0.0
    HAPi: 3.0.0.0
2

My issue turned out to be my libcec setup. I reimaged my raspberry pi with the latest HASSbian Image, which includes libcec setup script.

3

I’m running in to a similar issue using latest raspbian and aio installer. Manual json commands work but entities not created. Now about to attempt a fresh build using hassbian to see if that corrects the issue.

4

After libcec sorted, all I had to do is add the following to my configuration.yaml

hdmi_cec:
  platform: media_player

then devices showed up as
media_player.hdmi_0
media_player.hdmi_5
media_player.hdmi_8

0 is my tv, 5 is AV receiver and 8 is a google cast

5

ran in to the same problem yet again =/ one more install attempt. gonna just reinstall hassbian for the second time, setup wifi, install libcec, and add the following to my configuration.yaml:

hdmi_cec:
  platform: media_player

This is the error i get, issue is up on homeassistant issues page:

(EDIT:) so, it worked after doing that. so, it may be something to do with my imported config, or something i usually install after that’s interfering.

That’s the same error sequence I was getting before I bit the bullet and re-imaged my Pi.

7

That is a bug in the cec component that manifests if youre using the new customise format.

@happyleaves
I was just about to come back scream and shouting with joy that i’ve found out there’s an issue with customize being present but now you’ve stole my thunder :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll update my Github issue with those findings though as i’ve yet to see that documented anywhere officially
