[RPi5] CEC Wakeup/Standby

    • New

    I have a rpi5 running with LE nightly. I have a Denon X3400h and a LG Oled C7. When i power off the TV, the AVR powers off to, but the rpi5 stays on. Now i found some reddit topics that say, the rpi5 can not standby e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/kodi/comment…ndby_then_what/ - just wondering if this is true (because i dont trust those reddit comments), so i thought i'll go and ask the experts here :)

    Is it true that the rpi5 can not do standby? Tbh that would surprise me. So it also can not wake up then?

    The Pi5 can't wakeup over CEC. You can configure to shut down when TV shuts down, but you'd have to use the power button on the Pi5 to switch back one. There do exist some addon boards (HATs) that can power cycle the pi.

    But most users leave the Pi on continuously - it uses little power.

    What a pity. But thanks for confirming this. Can you reference/link one of those boards?

    I've never used one of these boards. So can't really advise. Maybe someone else uses something similar.

    This is the sort of thing, but that one looks to be discontinued.

    The board mentioned by popcornmix works for RPi4. You can teach a remote button of your choice to the board or use the shown button to turn it on and off. I know this because I corrected the required scripts for some people on this and another forum and got some positive feedback. But unfortunately, it's discontinued and may not be officially compatible with the RPi5 (integrated max current limit of the RemotePi board).
