# HDMI CEC

!!! warning "This feature is experimental and still under development. It has only been tested on ESP8266."

??? tip "This feature is not included in standard Tasmota builds."

When [compiling your build](Compile-your-build) add the following flag to the build environment or `user_config_override.h`:
```arduino
#define USE_HDMI_CEC
```

## What is HDMI CEC?

HDMI CEC is a feature of HDMI designed to control HDMI connected devices by using only one remote controller; so, individual CEC enabled devices can command and control each other without user intervention, for up to 15 devices.

This features enables a simple Tasmota device plugged to any HDMI port of your home equipment, to control the TV and other equipments, with a protocol more standard and robust than Infra-Red.

## Hardware needed

HDMI CEC needs only 3 GPIOs to be connected to an HDMI port. You can use a simple ESP8266 Wemos D1 Mini plugged with Dupont cables to an HDMI pass-through like [these devices from Alix](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004343592426.html)

The GPIOs from ESP devices are electrically compatible with HDMI specifications, so you can simply connect GPIOs with no additional components:

- HDMI CEC: GPIO 2 to HDMI Pin 13; GPIO 2 on Wemos D1 Mini is connected to a blue Led which is a visual indicator of CEC traffic
- HDMI I2C SDA: GPIO 4 to HDMI Pin 16
- HDMI I2C SCL: GPIO 5 to HDMI Pin 15
- Ground to HDMI Pin 17

Below is the template:
`Template {"NAME":"HDMI CEC","GPIO":[1,1,9824,1,640,608,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],"FLAG":0,"BASE":18}`

## Quick start and quick tour

HDMI CEC auto-detects all parameters and does not need specific configuration, although you may override the default configuration if needed. By default, Tasmota announces itself as a "Playback Device" on the HDMI bus.

00:00:00.111 CEC: physical address found: 0x1000
00:00:00.152 CEC: Packet sent: 44 ACK
00:00:00.199 CEC: Packet sent: 88 NAK
00:00:00.200 CEC: HDMI CEC initialized on GPIO 2, Logical address 8, Physical address 0x1000
00:00:00.678 CEC: Packet sent: 8F84100004 ACK
```

In the above example, the first part probes I2C to get EDID data and compute the physical address. Tasmota sends `44` message to check if Logical address `4` is in use. Since the message is `ACK`ed it is in use (here by an AppleTV plugged on the same HDMI port). It tries address `8` with packet `88`. `NAK` indicates that the address is free, so it is claimed by Tasmota. The message `8F84100004` indicates to the bus that logical device `8` has the physical address `0x1000`, i.e. connected the HDMI port 1 of TV.


## Commands

Command|Parameters
:---|:---
HdmiType<a class="cmnd" id="hdmitype"></a>|<type>: set the CEC device type (0..15 as per CEC specs)<BR>The default value is `4` (Playback Device). Changes require a restart to renegociate a new HDMI logical address.<BR>Possible values are:<BR>`0`: TV<BR>`1`: Recording Device<BR>`2`: Reserved<BR>`3`: Tuner<BR>`4`: Playback Device<BR>`5`: Audio System
HdmiSend<a class="cmnd" id="hdmisend"></a>|Send a payload to the TV or to any device<BR>`HdmiSend <hex>`: sends the `<hex>` payload to the TV<BR>`HdmiSend { ["To": <to>, ] "Data":"<hex>"}` gives more control about the target.<BR>`<to>` is the logical address of the targer, default is `0` which is the TV<BR>`<hex>` is the payload<BR>Examples:<BR>`HdmiSend 8F` or `HdmiSend {"Data":"8F"}` - ask the power status of the TV<BR>`HdmiSend {"To":4,"Data":"8C}` - ask its vendor id to logical address `4`


## Receiving and parsing payloads

Currently payloads are passed as HEX data without any encoding/decoding.

Whenever a message is received on the CEC bus, a payload using the following syntax is triggered and can be matched with a Rule. Only messages addressed to Tasmota are published as payloads in MQTT, all messages not adressed to Tasmota are masked to avoid generating too much traffic. Note: the total traffic can be monitored with loglevel 3.

Received payloads generate an Rule event as follows:
```
{"HdmiReceived":{"From":<from>,"To":<to>,"Data":"<hex>"}}
```

Example: command `HdmiSend 8F`
```
20:07:59.449 CMD: HdmiSend 8F
20:07:59.454 RSL: RESULT = {"HdmiSend":"Done"}
20:07:59.632 RSL: SENSOR = {"HdmiReceived":{"From":0,"To":8,"Data":"9001"}}
```
In the above, Tasmota sends command `8F` (Give Device Power Status) to query the power status of the TV. The response `9001` (Report Power Status) indicates that the TV is in Standby mode.

### Turning the TV on

Command: `HdmiSend 04`

### Turning the TV on

Command: `HdmiSend 36`

## Advanced usage

When setting loglevel 3 (ex: `WebLog 3`), you see all messages being published in the CEC bus. They all generate an internal JSON event `HdmiReceived` that can be used by a rule.

The following commands are for advanced users or specific use-cases:

Command|Parameters
:---|:---
HdmiSendRaw<a class="cmnd" id="hdmisendraw"></a>|`<hex>`: send a raw payload to the HDMI CEC bus<BR>This gives full control over messages and allows to impersonate another device<BR>`HdmiSendRaw 408F` pretend that device at logical address `4` asks TV for its power status.
HdmiAddr<a class="cmnd" id="hdmiaddr"></a>|<addr>: set the default HDMI Physical Address in case it cannot be discovered.<BR>The default value is `0x1000` which is HDMI Port 1 on the TV<BR>This value is only used if the I2C port is not connected or if the discovery failes.<BR>If no argumant, this command returns the current physical adress.
