I’m getting this same error did you ever figure out what was wrong? I actually tried this with hassio blew that all away then installed hassbian to see if it worked better. I’m still getting the same error so it looks like it’s broke in both environments.
I didn’t unfortunately, and ended up getting a smartthings hub and have to buy a harmony remote I guess…
After I did all the stuff related to sym-links above and in other threads, and still having no luck, I was curious and searched around in the various folders. I realized that _cec.so wasn’t in the “site-packages” folder but was in the “dist-packages” so I tried copying the file over like so:
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/_cec.so /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/
IT WORKED!!! Happy boy here!
Don’t know if anyone is still having this problem or if this will work for anyone else, but it did for me and I thought I’d throw my 2 cents into the pot in case it helps anyone.
