Hi all, after last update of home assistant (hassbian) 0.63.3 I’ve some issue with hdmi cec.
In my configuration I’ve
hdmi_cec:
devices:
TV: 0.0.0.0
Pi: 1.0.0.0
this is the result of echo scan | cec-client -s -d 1
pi@hassbian:~ $ echo scan | cec-client -s -d 1
opening a connection to the CEC adapter...
requesting CEC bus information ...
CEC bus information
===================
device #0: TV
address: 0.0.0.0
active source: no
vendor: Panasonic
osd string: TV
CEC version: unknown
power status: standby
language: ???
device #4: Playback 1
address: 1.0.0.0
active source: no
vendor: Panasonic
osd string: CECTester
CEC version: 1.4
power status: on
language: eng
Home assistant correctly show me a TV switch (switch.hdmi_0).
Before the update I could turn the tv on and of using the switch but now when I use the switch to turn on the tv, it turn back off after a second and the TV never goes on.
If I turn on the Tv with its remote the switch in home assistant turn on after 15-20 seconds. Same thing when I turn it off.
In my log I’ve found this:
Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved
00:07 helpers/entity_platform.py (ERROR)

msg)
homeassistant.exceptions.HomeAssistantError: Entity id already exists: switch.hdmi_0
Following other discussion on the forum I’ve:
erased the content of entity_registry.yaml
commented out the customize section
changed from direct mapping to port mapping in the hdmi configuration
bur nothing has worked.
Any suggestion will be really appreciated.
Thank you.
Last update to 0.64.1 didn’t solve my issue.
I think it’s something related to the new way of managing entities id, but the entity switch.hdmi_0 is automatically created so I really don’t know what should I do.
Actually, I’ve got a Panasonic TV, a Sony Receiver and a Amz Fire TV. They all apear as switches, the somehow read the state of the device (if, using the remote I turn on and off the TV or the Receiver, it shows on my homeassistant) but it doesn’t obey when I change it on my HA.
I’m trying to enable HDMI CEC on my Rasperry Pi 3b+ running Hassbian, no luck.
Is this not working or am I doing it wrong?

I just reinstalled hassbian and installed libcec. I can see connected HDMI Devices via SSH and i am also able to control them (switch them on and off) but the HA component does not load and i get the exact error as forschi.
There is a short delay by using the switch and turning the TV on/off of about 2 seconds. But the service is very reliable.
If I use the normal remote the delay is about 2-3 seconds. I hope this will help you
Thanks for this. Using the CEC services through Home Assistant never worked for me, but this does. Now I need to figure out the commands to change TV inputs.
you put the codes in configuration.yaml?
because i tried your code in my configuration.yaml and it wouldnt load the web gui. thats how i know the syntax is wrong. please help
