HDMI Cec not working #15406

nitobuendia · 2018-07-10T14:00:06Z

Home Assistant release with the issue:
0.73.1

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):
Not known or never workign.

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):
Hass.io 0.73.1 on Raspberry Pi

Component/platform:
hdmi_cec

Description of problem:
Hass.io does not seem to detect any HDMI devices.
Services like hdmi_cec.power_on are added to services in Hass.io. Calling them will have no effect.

HDMI Set up:
Raspberry Pi (Hass.io) connected to HDMI port2 of TV.

Kinivo device connected to HDMI port1 of TV. This provides 5 ports. Port 1 is occupied by Chromecast TV and port 2 by PS4.

Both Chromecast (+Assistant) and PS4 are able to use HDMI Cec to switch on and off the TV.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

hdmi_cec: !include devices/hdmi_cec.yaml

devices/hdmi_cec.yaml

platform: media_player

Also tried, devices/hdmi_cec.yaml

devices:
  1:
    1: Chromecast
    2: PS4
    3: Slot 3
    4: Slot 4
    5: Slot 5
  2: Hassio TV

64bit ?

nitobuendia · 2018-07-12T00:44:27Z

@pvizeli Thanks for your message. Could you kindly elaborate? Not sure what you mean by that.

pvizeli · 2018-07-12T10:09:17Z

What kind of host system do you use? ResinOS/HassOS/raspbian ?

nitobuendia · 2018-07-12T11:41:11Z

Hass.io which I understand should be HassOs?

As per hdmi_cec component:

If you are using Hass.io then just move forward to the configuration as all requirements are already fulfilled.

KristianAndersson · 2018-07-14T18:40:32Z

I'm experiencing issues with hdmi_cec component as well. It doesn't detect the hdmi devices connected.

Made a clean install with the 0.73.1 Hass.io image based on HassOS (64bit) on a new Raspberry PI 3B+, and copied my configuration from my previous instalment.

I'm getting the Not initialized. Waiting for init. warning every second.

I have tried to set the log level to debug and pulled out these logs:

I’m having the same problem. I’m using hassio running on Resin OS 2.3.0+rev1 on a raspberry pi 3

nitobuendia · 2018-07-21T11:02:49Z

My error has evolved into:

Which is consistent with the reports on #15514.

I attempted to move to HassOS to see if it changed anything, but unfortunately I'm having the same issues.
HassOS 1.7 production

I don't know if it would be useful or not, but here's the output from the CEC Scanner add-on:

Updating to 0.74.1 fixed it for me

nitobuendia · 2018-07-28T08:47:55Z

Still happens for me on 0.74.2.

Not initialized. Waiting for init.
16:46 /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycec/network.py (WARNING)

I feel this error, while being the original error, it is different than the "No module named cec" which seems fixed.

Under current situation, hdmi_cec services appear. However, no devices are detected. When trying to run a command, say power on, this is the error generated:

Jul 28 2018 16:54:08 GMT+0800 (Singapore Standard Time)

Exception in callback <bound method CecAdapter.power_on_devices of <pycec.cec.CecAdapter object at 0x733dfc90>>
handle: <Handle CecAdapter.power_on_devices>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "uvloop/cbhandles.pyx", line 62, in uvloop.loop.Handle._run
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycec/cec.py", line 51, in power_on_devices
    self._adapter.PowerOnDevices)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'PowerOnDevices'

This means self._adapter is None.

self._adapter seems to be defined on line 84 of cec.py when init method is called. Although it could be initiated in other parts on derived classes.

If we re-read the original error, it says we are "waiting for init", which might be waiting for it to be called? The waiting for init message is logged by the network.py code.

Any thoughts?

Did a fresh install of HassOS today, running version 0.75.2
and I'm also stil encountering this error

Thanks for posting this @nitobuendia, I came across the exact same thing you are experiencing and was about to log an issue.

Sadly no fix to contribute yet. Constantly having to reboot home assistant in order to see if any changes fixes the issue make it really cumbersome to test.

nbeernink · 2018-10-26T09:22:47Z

Maybe this issue needs to be moved to the hassio project instead of home-assistant?

danieledwardgeorgehitchcock · 2018-11-13T14:09:18Z

Maybe this issue needs to be moved to the hassio project instead of home-assistant?

I'd recommend against this as the issue is apparent in both the Docker image and HASSIO.

I have hass.io + docker installation (HA ver 0.87.1). And I see the same issue with HDMI CEC
Not initialized. Waiting for init. /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pycec/network.py (WARNING)

but HA sees my TV and even it's actual status - on or off (with a delay ~5 sec). So I can use it as trigger in automation. But commands still don't work...

nbeernink · 2019-02-15T14:03:02Z

frkos' response triggered me to post this reply, sorry for not posting sooner. 😉

I do get the status delay that he's describing but switching on/off does work for me (several months ago).

Hi @nbeernink
So could you share your config? I've just added these lines to configuration.yaml

hdmi_cec:
   devices:
      TV: 0.0.0.0

nbeernink · 2019-02-15T15:28:54Z

Sure!
configuration.yaml contains:

hdmi_cec: !include hdmi_cec.yaml

hdmi_cec.yaml contains:

  TV: 0.0.0.0
  Onkyo: 1.0.0.0
  Chromecast: 1.1.0.0
  Home Assistant: 1.3.0.0
  Steam Link: 1.4.0.0

stale · 2019-07-07T23:24:42Z

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.
Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍
This issue now has been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
