Here is the log from first boot after turning on hdmi_cec

Same here. It worked fine on 0.36.x. Been getting errors on it with 0.37.x and 0.38.x

Looks like you need to switch back to using the old style customization to get it to work, even if your customization has nothing to do with HDMI-CEC. For example,

sensor.pws_temp_f:
  friendly_name: Outside Temp
  icon: mdi:thermometer
sensor.pws_wind_mph:
  friendly_name: Wind Speed
  icon: mdi:weather-windy

That is fixed now.

I have been experimenting with the HDMI CEC component all the weekend. But when I changed to use the command line switch component and using the cec-client directly, it worked much better. My conclusion was that the python cec lib was failing sometimes.

But I could be wrong.
