Hey ya. Just having a bit of difficulty setting up cec control. I initially had it configured through hassio no worries until I could not longer view the front end. I then installed hassbian 1.3, carried out sudo apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade and reboot. After that I used hassbian-config to install samba - no worries. installed libcec through the same means no worries. ssh returns the right information through the echo command listed on the /components/hdmi_cec/ page. I can even monitor the cec bus through ssh no worries. After I added hdmi_cec: to my config yaml, restarted home assistant, the below error appeared in the log. So i adjusted my entry as such:
hdmi_cec:
devices:
TV: 0.0.0.0
HT: 3.0.0.0
Same error is returned.

To be honest I have no idea what any of this means. My level of experience with linux is basically copy and pasting from the web which I realise isn’t ideal at all. Can anyone shed any light on my problem?
I’d love a solution though.
