SteamOS CEC Toolkit

Disclaimer: This is a community solution for DIY/self-installed SteamOS machines, created with vibe-coding and Codex. It is not an official Valve project, and is tested on one known-good HTPC setup: a Radeon 9070 XT system with a UGREEN DisplayPort-to-HDMI CEC adapter exposing /dev/cec0.

SteamOS CEC Toolkit adds living-room HDMI-CEC behavior to DIY SteamOS / Steam Machine / HTPC builds. It installs scripts, systemd units, and WirePlumber overrides so Game Mode can control the TV/AVR chain like a console. An optional Decky plugin provides a Game Mode control panel.

It was built for a living-room SteamOS box where:

• A controller Home/Guide/Steam-button press should wake/power on the TV/AVR over HDMI-CEC and switch the active input back to the SteamOS box.
• SteamOS can optionally wake/power on the TV/AVR and select the SteamOS input automatically when Game Mode starts after cold boot.
• SteamOS should be able to send TV standby when the system sleeps or shuts down.
• SteamOS can optionally suspend when the TV broadcasts HDMI-CEC standby.
• SteamOS can optionally suspend after the TV/AVR switches away from the SteamOS HDMI-CEC source.
• Supported Bluetooth adapters and controller receivers can optionally be set up to wake SteamOS from suspend before the toolkit sends CEC wake/input selection.
• Gamescope can optionally be recovered after CEC wake/input switching if the display comes back in a bad state.
• SteamOS Game Mode can show relative volume controls (+ / -) instead of a normal software volume slider, and those buttons can control the real receiver / soundbar volume over HDMI-CEC.
• The original Steam Controller has a HID fallback profile for wake/input switching if Linux does not expose a normal gamepad Home button event.

Features are configurable from the Decky plugin or from the steamos-cec-toolkitctl command-line helper after the toolkit has been installed.

The project uses Valve's existing SteamOS CEC daemon (cecd) and PipeWire ExternalVolume plumbing.

Install

Recommended install path:

Run this on the SteamOS machine as the normal desktop user, usually deck:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://github.com/Twsts/steamos-cec-toolkit/releases/latest/download/steamos-cec-toolkit-installer.sh)

The installer will:

• download the latest release assets
• ask which features you want to enable
• install the CEC volume shim and root helpers
• optionally install the Decky plugin
• discover CEC devices where possible
• restart Decky Loader if the plugin is installed

This is the recommended path for most users. It installs the core toolkit, asks which features to enable, and can install the Decky plugin. A manual git clone + ./install.sh install is supported, but it is an advanced path: it does not install the Decky plugin automatically, and optional features must be enabled with flags.

If you install the Decky plugin, open Game Mode and use the SteamOS CEC plugin:

1. Open Configuration.
2. Press Discover CEC Devices.
3. Use Actions to test wake/input selection.
4. If you want SteamOS volume buttons to control CEC audio, run Discover Audio Output, confirm Volume Initiator, Audio Target, and HDMI Audio Card, then test volume.
5. Toggle the features you want under Features.

If you enable CEC Volume Buttons, reboot once before judging whether SteamOS Quick Settings has switched from the normal slider to + / -. The CEC volume actions can work immediately while Steam/Game Mode still needs a fresh session to attach the PipeWire ExternalVolume route.

If the plugin does not appear immediately, restart Steam or reboot.

If you do not use Decky, the toolkit can still be managed from the command line:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl status
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl wake
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl volume up
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl volume down
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl standby

Development builds can be installed from main with:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Twsts/steamos-cec-toolkit/main/scripts/easy-install.sh)

Requirements

• SteamOS / Steam Deck-style Game Mode on a DIY HTPC.
• Decky Loader if you want the Game Mode plugin UI. The toolkit itself can be installed without Decky and managed from the command line.
• A working CEC adapter exposed as /dev/cec0 or similar.
• A TV/AVR/soundbar HDMI-CEC chain.
• git, curl, sudo, and systemctl available on the SteamOS desktop session.
• unzip if you install the Decky plugin from release assets.

Hardware This Targets

Known-good reference setup:

• SteamOS / Steam Deck-style Game Mode on a DIY HTPC.
• UGREEN DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter with HDMI-CEC support.
• TV + AVR/soundbar HDMI-CEC chain.
• Gamepad Home/Guide button support through Linux input events.
• Steam Controller for the Steam Controller HID fallback helper.

Controller wake from suspend has been tested on the reference setup with:

• Sony DualSense / PS5 controller over Bluetooth.
• Sony DualShock 4 / PS4 controller over Bluetooth.
• Original Steam Controller.
• 8BitDo controller over Bluetooth.

Other adapters and controllers may work, but you should verify the CEC topology and whether the controller exposes a normal gamepad Home/Guide input event.

What It Installs

User files:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-volume
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-external-volume
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-boot-wake
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-steam-button
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-tv-standby-suspend
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-input-away-suspend
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-gamescope-recovery
~/.config/systemd/user/cec-audio-control.service.d/override.conf
~/.config/systemd/user/steamos-cec-*.service
~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/99-steamos-cec-external-volume.conf

Controller wake support is passive. It does not remap, inject, block, or grab controller input. The generic path watches gamepad-like Linux input devices for known system button codes (BTN_MODE, KEY_HOMEPAGE, KEY_HOME) and ignores keyboard/mouse devices. The Steam Controller fallback still uses the original Steam Controller HID profile, with support for both the older and newer Steam Controller / Steam Controller Puck firmware report formats observed in SteamOS updates.

Root files:

/etc/steamos-cec-toolkit.conf
/etc/atomic-update.conf.d/steamos-cec-toolkit.conf
/etc/sudoers.d/zz-steamos-cec-toolkit-volume
/var/lib/steamos-cec-toolkit/steamos-cec-volume-raw
/var/lib/steamos-cec-toolkit/steamos-cec-before-sleep
/var/lib/steamos-cec-toolkit/steamos-cec-permissions-apply
/var/lib/steamos-cec-toolkit/steamos-cec-usb-wake-apply
/etc/systemd/system/steamos-cec-before-sleep.service
/etc/systemd/system/steamos-cec-resume-wake.service
/etc/systemd/system/steamos-cec-permissions.service
/etc/systemd/system/steamos-cec-usb-wake.service
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-steamos-cec-toolkit.rules

USB/Bluetooth wake from suspend depends on the USB/Bluetooth adapter, firmware, kernel, and controller. The toolkit can enable Linux USB wakeup for matching Bluetooth/controller receivers, but it cannot make unsupported hardware wake the PC from suspend. By default it matches USB Bluetooth radios by Bluetooth device class, controller receiver names, and a small known-safe USB ID list for devices that do not expose a readable product name.

CEC device access can also change after suspend, hotplug, or a SteamOS update. The toolkit installs a small root helper, systemd unit, and udev rule to keep the configured /dev/cec* device readable and writable by the SteamOS desktop user so the user-level cecd service can reattach the adapter.

On SteamOS systems with atomic-update support, the installer also writes:

/etc/atomic-update.conf.d/steamos-cec-toolkit.conf

This asks SteamOS to preserve the toolkit-managed /etc files across OS updates, including the systemd units, udev rule, sudoers rule, root helpers, and toolkit config. It reduces update breakage for files managed by this project, but it cannot protect Decky Loader, SteamOS internals, WirePlumber behavior changes, or files outside the configured keep-list.

SteamOS Updates and Recovery

SteamOS updates can replace or reset parts of the system image. User files in the SteamOS desktop user's home directory usually survive, but anything under /etc, /var/lib, systemd unit state, WirePlumber behavior, Decky Loader, or SteamOS CEC internals may change after an OS update.

Common symptoms after an update:

• Game Mode goes back to the normal volume slider.
• The SteamOS CEC Decky plugin shows Missing for a helper or sudoers rule, if you installed the plugin.
• Feature toggles are present but do not do anything, if you use the plugin.
• CEC discovery works, but volume or TV standby actions fail.
• Decky Loader itself needs to be reinstalled or restarted, if you use Decky.

If you use Decky, the plugin is the first place to check:

• Root helper, Debug helper, Power standby helper, and Sudoers should be OK.
• CEC volume buttons should be On if you want + / - instead of the normal slider.
• Relative volume should be OK when ExternalVolume is active.
• If the Install / Repair section appears, it lists what is missing. CEC device permission problems can usually be repaired directly from the plugin; missing root helpers still require rerunning the installer.

The normal repair step is simply to rerun the latest installer:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://github.com/Twsts/steamos-cec-toolkit/releases/latest/download/steamos-cec-toolkit-installer.sh)

This refreshes the root helpers, sudoers rule, systemd units, WirePlumber override, CEC device permission repair, and optionally the Decky plugin. It keeps your runtime choices in:

~/.config/steamos-cec-toolkit/config.conf

To verify SteamOS atomic-update persistence on systems that include holo-sync-var, run:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://github.com/Twsts/steamos-cec-toolkit/releases/latest/download/steamos-cec-toolkit-installer.sh) --verify

The installer keeps the atomic update manifest installed either way. --verify adds a holo-sync-var --dry-run all check and reports if SteamOS would still discard project-managed files on the next update.

After rerunning the installer, Decky users can open the plugin, run Discover CEC Devices, and toggle preferred features back on if needed. Without Decky, use:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl status
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl discover-cec
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl discover-audio

Why Relative Volume Needs a Shim

SteamOS has an official user service:

/usr/lib/systemd/user/cec-audio-control.socket
/usr/lib/systemd/user/cec-audio-control.service

It exposes a Varlink interface:

org.pipewire.ExternalVolume

WirePlumber can attach this ExternalVolume socket to the HDMI ALSA card. When Steam sees usable relative-volume capabilities, Game Mode changes from a normal volume slider to + / -.

Some AVRs ignore CEC volume commands from the SteamOS playback device logical address, but accept the exact same command when it is sent as if it came from the TV logical address. The toolkit replaces the cec-audio-control service with a small Varlink shim that still speaks org.pipewire.ExternalVolume, but uses cec-ctl --raw-msg -f <initiator> -t <audio-system> for volume.

Default behavior:

initiator: 0  (TV)
target:    5  (Audio System)

Quick Install

Most users should use the one-command installer above.

Manual Install

Manual install is intended for development, testing, or users who do not want the release installer. It installs the same core toolkit files, but it skips the interactive feature prompts, release asset download, Decky plugin installation, and post-install discovery summary.

Running ./install.sh with no feature flags does not enable every feature. It installs the base toolkit and ExternalVolume integration, while services such as controller wake/input switching, boot wake, TV standby suspend, input inactive suspend, Gamescope recovery, sleep/shutdown TV standby, and USB wake must be enabled explicitly.

Clone the repo on the SteamOS machine as the normal SteamOS desktop user:

git clone https://github.com/Twsts/steamos-cec-toolkit.git
cd steamos-cec-toolkit

Install the ExternalVolume integration and controller TV wake/input-switch helper:

./install.sh --enable-steam-button

Install everything:

./install.sh \
  --enable-steam-button \
  --enable-boot-wake \
  --enable-tv-standby-suspend \
  --enable-input-inactive-suspend \
  --enable-gamescope-recovery \
  --enable-before-sleep \
  --enable-usb-wake

Then restart Steam/Game Mode or reboot.

Release Assets

Each GitHub release should include:

steamos-cec-toolkit-installer.sh
steamos-cec-toolkit-decky.zip
steamos-cec-toolkit.tar.gz
SHA256SUMS

Build them from a clean checkout:

scripts/build-release-assets.sh v0.1.0

Upload example:

gh release create v0.1.0 \
  release/steamos-cec-toolkit-installer.sh \
  release/steamos-cec-toolkit-decky.zip \
  release/steamos-cec-toolkit.tar.gz \
  release/SHA256SUMS \
  --title "v0.1.0"

Decky Plugin

This repository includes an optional Decky plugin under:

decky/

The plugin is a Game Mode control panel for an already bootstrapped toolkit. It can:

• show ExternalVolume/toolkit status
• toggle SteamOS CEC volume buttons on/off so you can switch between relative + / - control and the normal SteamOS volume bar
• toggle controller wake/input switching, boot wake/input switching, TV standby suspend, input inactive suspend, SteamOS sleep/shutdown TV standby, Bluetooth/controller wake from suspend, and Gamescope recovery
• discover CEC devices and choose the volume initiator/audio target from dropdowns
• test TV wake/input selection
• test volume up/down/mute
• restart the CEC audio/WirePlumber path

The plugin intentionally does not create sudoers rules or write root-owned system files. Install the toolkit from Desktop/SSH first, then use the plugin for day-to-day control if desired. Runtime choices made in the plugin are written to:

~/.config/steamos-cec-toolkit/config.conf

Build the plugin:

cd decky
npm install
npm run build

For local testing, install the built Decky plugin using Decky Loader developer tools or copy the plugin directory according to your Decky development workflow.

Configure Your Machine

The installer creates:

/etc/steamos-cec-toolkit.conf

The Decky plugin and steamos-cec-toolkitctl can write user-level overrides for common runtime choices. For system defaults, edit:

sudoedit /etc/steamos-cec-toolkit.conf

Important defaults:

CEC_DEVICE=/dev/cec0
STEAMOS_CEC_USER=<install-user>
CEC_VOLUME_INITIATOR=
CEC_AUDIO_LOGICAL_ADDRESS=5
CEC_SIMPLINK_ACK=0
HDMI_ALSA_CARD_NAME=alsa_card.pci-0000_03_00.1
HDMI_ALSA_CARD_NICK="HDA ATI HDMI"
EXTERNAL_VOLUME_ROUTE=hdmi-output-0

On official SteamOS images the install user is normally deck. On other self-installed SteamOS-style systems, the installer writes the user that ran the installer.

Find CEC topology:

cec-ctl -d /dev/cec0 --show-topology

Find the HDMI ALSA card:

wpctl status
pw-cli ls Device

After changing config, rerun the installer or regenerate the WirePlumber file:

./install.sh --enable-steam-button

Command-Line Control

steamos-cec-toolkitctl is the CLI equivalent of the Decky control panel. It prints JSON so it can be used from SSH, scripts, or bug reports.

Discovery and status:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl status
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl discover-cec
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl discover-audio
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl discover-input

Direct actions:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl wake
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl standby
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl volume up
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl volume down
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl volume mute
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl debug-cec 3

Toggle user services:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-service steam-button on
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-service boot-wake on
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-service tv-standby off
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-service input-away-suspend on
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-service gamescope-recovery on

Toggle system-backed features:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-system-service power-standby on
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-system-service usb-wake on

Toggle SteamOS relative volume buttons:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-external-volume on
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl restart-external-volume

Update user-level configuration:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-config '{"CEC_DEVICE":"/dev/cec0"}'
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-config '{"CEC_VOLUME_INITIATOR":"","CEC_AUDIO_LOGICAL_ADDRESS":"5"}'
~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-config '{"HDMI_ALSA_CARD_NAME":"alsa_card.pci-0000_03_00.1","EXTERNAL_VOLUME_ROUTE":"hdmi-output-0"}'

Repair CEC device permissions after a SteamOS update or hotplug issue:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl repair-cec-permissions

Verify ExternalVolume

Check the Varlink capabilities:

varlinkctl call \
  unix:/run/user/1000/cec-audio-control/org.pipewire.ExternalVolume \
  org.pipewire.ExternalVolume.GetCapabilities \
  '{"device":""}'

Expected output includes:

{
  "writeVolumeRelative": true,
  "writeVolumeRelativeStep": { "min": 1.0, "max": 1.0 },
  "writeMuteToggle": true,
  "routes": ["hdmi-output-0"]
}

Test volume:

varlinkctl call \
  unix:/run/user/1000/cec-audio-control/org.pipewire.ExternalVolume \
  org.pipewire.ExternalVolume.WriteVolumeRelative \
  '{"device":"","route":"hdmi-output-0","step":1.0}'

If the receiver volume moves, the shim is working.

CEC Debug Capture

The optional Decky plugin has a Debug panel that can capture a short window of live CEC messages. This uses a narrow root helper because cec-ctl --monitor-all normally requires root on SteamOS.

From SSH/Desktop you can run the same capture manually:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl debug-cec 3

The capture window is intentionally limited to 1-5 seconds. It is meant for checking routing, source activation, standby broadcasts, and volume commands without leaving a long-running root monitor behind.

Hardware and Topology Notes

The defaults match a common UGREEN DP-to-HDMI CEC adapter setup where SteamOS is a playback device, the TV is logical address 0, and the receiver/audio system is logical address 5. Other HDMI chains can differ.

Check topology:

cec-ctl -d /dev/cec0 --show-topology

Then update /etc/steamos-cec-toolkit.conf if needed:

CEC_DEVICE=/dev/cec0
CEC_VOLUME_INITIATOR=
CEC_AUDIO_LOGICAL_ADDRESS=5
CEC_SIMPLINK_ACK=0
HDMI_ALSA_CARD_NAME=alsa_card.pci-0000_03_00.1
HDMI_ALSA_CARD_NICK="HDA ATI HDMI"
EXTERNAL_VOLUME_ROUTE=hdmi-output-0

The toolkit is configurable, but not fully topology-agnostic yet. In particular, some receivers accept volume only from the TV logical address while others may accept it from the SteamOS playback address. HDMI/WirePlumber card matching can also vary by GPU, adapter, and distro image.

Leave CEC_VOLUME_INITIATOR empty for the normal validated path where the kernel uses the SteamOS adapter's current logical address. Set it to 0 only for receivers or soundbars that require TV-originated volume commands. If there is no separate Audio System on the CEC bus and the TV renders audio itself, use CEC_AUDIO_LOGICAL_ADDRESS=0; LG TVs may also need CEC_SIMPLINK_ACK=1.

Input Switching

The steamos-cec-steam-button service watches controller Home/Guide input events from gamepad-like Linux input devices. It also keeps the original Steam Controller HID profile as a fallback. When triggered, it wakes/powers on the TV/AVR chain and activates the SteamOS HDMI source by calling SteamOS cecd:

busctl --user call \
  com.steampowered.CecDaemon1 \
  /com/steampowered/CecDaemon1/Daemon \
  com.steampowered.CecDaemon1.Daemon1 \
  Wake

It triggers on:

• supported controller Home/Guide button events
• original Steam Controller connect/resume
• original Steam Controller short Steam-button press
• SteamOS resume, through a root systemd service that runs after suspend

On a working CEC topology this is the same behavior users expect from a console: press the controller button, the display wakes, the AVR/TV selects the SteamOS input, and Game Mode appears.

Boot Wake and Input Switching

The optional steamos-cec-boot-wake service runs once when the SteamOS user session starts. It waits briefly for cecd, checks whether the SteamOS HDMI-CEC source is already active, and if not sends SteamOS' standard CEC wake command with retries. This is intended for console-style cold boot behavior: power on the SteamOS machine, then let it wake the TV/AVR and select the SteamOS input automatically.

The Steam Controller HID fallback supports both older and newer Steam Controller / Steam Controller Puck firmware report formats. The older report uses this default parsing:

STEAM_BUTTON_HID_ID=0003:000028DE:00001304
STEAM_BUTTON_REPORT_ID=0x45
STEAM_BUTTON_BYTE=4
STEAM_BUTTON_MASK=0x01

The newer report path uses:

STEAM_BUTTON_ALT_REPORT_ID=0x44
STEAM_BUTTON_ALT_BYTE=1
STEAM_BUTTON_ALT_VALUES="0x03,0x04"
STEAM_BUTTON_ALT_DEBOUNCE_SECONDS=20

Other controllers use the generic gamepad Home/Guide input-event path when Linux exposes a supported system button event.

On the reference setup, suspend wake plus CEC TV/input activation has been tested with DualSense, DualShock 4, Steam Controller, and 8BitDo controllers. This depends on the Bluetooth/USB adapter being allowed to wake the machine from suspend, so unsupported adapters may still need platform-specific tuning. On some desktop AMD systems, a controller can wake the PC electrically while the OS resumes only partially. If the machine responds to ping but has no display and no SSH after Bluetooth wake, check BIOS power-management settings such as Power Supply Idle Control and Global C-state Control.

Optional TV Standby Suspend

Enable with:

./install.sh --enable-tv-standby-suspend

This listens for TV broadcast standby:

source:      0  (TV)
destination: 15 (broadcast)
opcode:      0x36 (Standby)

Then it runs:

systemctl suspend

Optional Input Inactive Suspend

Enable with:

./install.sh --enable-input-inactive-suspend

This watches the SteamOS CEC device Active property from cecd. When the TV/AVR switches away from this HDMI input, Active changes from true to false. The service waits for a configurable delay, then suspends SteamOS if the input did not become active again.

The delay prevents false suspends during short HDMI/CEC routing glitches:

INPUT_INACTIVE_SUSPEND_DELAY_SECONDS=60

From the Decky plugin, enable Input Inactive Suspends SteamOS under Features. When enabled, use Input Inactive Delay under Configuration to choose the delay.

Optional SteamOS Sleep/Shutdown CEC Standby

Enable with:

./install.sh --enable-before-sleep

This installs a system service that asks cecd to send TV standby before SteamOS sleeps or shuts down. It can be toggled from the Decky plugin or with:

~/.local/bin/steamos-cec-toolkitctl set-system-service power-standby on

Optional Gamescope Recovery

Enable with:

./install.sh --enable-gamescope-recovery

This watches the Active property from cecd. When this source becomes active, it can restart gamescope-session.target after a short delay. This is useful on some HTPC setups where switching back to the SteamOS input leaves Game Mode in a bad display state.

When enabled, recovery is also cooldown-protected after system resume, after the configured DRM connector reconnects while CEC reports this source as active, and after the TV reports CEC power on while this source is already active. This handles cases where SteamOS wakes from a Bluetooth/controller event, CEC already thinks the SteamOS source is active, but the TV/AVR path still shows no video or Game Mode stays in a bad display state. Controller button presses only send CEC wake/input commands; they do not directly restart Gamescope.

Configure the connector status path in:

GAMESCOPE_CONNECTOR_STATUS=/sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/status
GAMESCOPE_RECOVER_AFTER_RESUME=1
GAMESCOPE_RECOVERY_COOLDOWN_SECONDS=30
GAMESCOPE_CONNECTOR_POLL_SECONDS=1
GAMESCOPE_RECOVER_ON_TV_POWER_ON=1
GAMESCOPE_TV_POWER_POLL_SECONDS=3
