Power on/off with CEC

ErsFreezy · December 2, 2018 at 10:32 AM

Hello

I have a quick question about CEC.

On my X92 (8.2.5.1 in internal) I activated CEC and set that the box shutdown when I power off my TV. Is it possible to let the Box power up when I start my TV?

Or are there other options to power on/off the box? I dont use the standard remote, but should it be possible with an ir remote or smth else? Otherwise the box is 24/7 powered on..

Thanks

Generally most small computers (RPi etc) once shutdown cannot be restarted without a power cycle. I know that some AMLogic computers can be powered on with the remote - but I'm not aware of anything that would wake up when you switch the TV on.

I'm not aware of a X92 but if it's like other SBC the power consumption is limited. (An Rpi (depending on model) is only about £5 - £10 py)
