@Axolotl1@gaygeek.social oooh it looks like one can use a raspberry pi or other small ARM SBC to control a TV. I have a TV with no remote, and boxloads of spare SBCs, so i’m going to test this idea.

@Axolotl1@gaygeek.social hrm, with a raspi and my old panasonic tv with missing remote I can turn it off ¹ over CEC and change inputs ² , but I can't turn it back on again ³ after turning it off. ¹ echo "standby 0" | cec-client -s -d 1 /dev/cec0 ² echo "tx 4F:82:30:00" | cec-client -s etc. (change third byte to 10, 20, 30, 40 etc) ³ echo "on 0" does not work for me.
