A HDMI-CEC and IR to MQTT bridge written in Python 3 for connecting your AV-devices to your Home Automation system. You can control and monitor power status and volume.
- HDMI-CEC
- Power control and feedback
- Volume control (up/down/specific) and feedback
- Relay HDMI-CEC messages from HDMI to broker (RX)
- Relay HDMI-CEC messages from broker to HDMI (TX)
- IR
- Relay IR keypresses from IR to broker (RX)
- Relay IR keypresses from broker to IR (TX)
-
MQTT broker (like Mosquitto)
- "apt-get install mosquitto"
-
python paho-mqtt module
- https://eclipse.dev/paho/files/paho.mqtt.python/html/client.html
- "apt-get install python3-paho-mqtt"
-
python HDMI-CEC module
- libcec4 with python bindings (https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec)
- NOTE: cec python package is not available on pypi
- "apt-get install python3-cec" OR compile the bindings yourself
- HDMI-CEC interface device (like a Pulse-Eight device, or a Raspberry Pi)
-
python LIRC module
- lirc with python bindings (https://www.lirc.org/api-docs/html/group__python__bindings.html)
- NOTE: lirc python package is not available on pypi
- "apt-get install lirc"
- "sudo pip install /usr/share/lirc/lirc-*.tar.gz" see #18
- OR compile & install https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/git/ci/master/tree/python-pkg/
-
lircd + hardware to receive and send IR signals
- cheep IR RX and TX with transistor https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251801744452143.html
- to get RX and TX working see raspberrypi/linux#2993 (comment)

You can either copy config.default.ini
to config.ini
and adjust its properties, or alternatively declare any of those as environment variables using the format SECTION_KEY
(e.g., MQTT_USER
).
