I have a very old amplifier which is connected to my Samsung TV.
The amplifier can only be controlled via IR remote.
I connected an IR diode to my RPi 3 which can send commands to the amplifier.
My goal is that the RPi 3 should poll the status of the TV and switch the amplifier on and off.
This works fine so far! This is how I poll the status of the TV:
echo “scan” | cec-client -s -d 1 | grep Samsung -A 3 | grep “status: on”
This happens every second.
The problem is: I can not use the Remote of my TV to control the Samsung TV.
In the list of CEC devices I only see CECTester and not Kodi.
Is there a better option to check the status of the TV?
