Hello,

i am not good in programming and C is the hardest language is see.

I used the function is_on() for my Samsung TV. This function returns always True, even the TV is on Standby.

Can anyone help? You need more information i can give you input.

Here the ouptut of the testscript in your repro. You can see if the script send the TV to Standby the state become False.

Using Adapter RPI  
Devices: {0: Device(0), 1: Device(1), 8: Device(8)}
Address: 0
Physical Address: 0.0.0.0
Vendor ID: 0000F0
OSD: TV
CEC Version: Unknown
Language: ger
ON: True                <- THE TV was in STANDBY
Powering device on
True
Sleeping to allow device to power on
True                       <- THE TV was in ON
Powering device off
True
Sleeping to allow device to power off
False                     <- THE TV was in STANDBY
Success!

Thx

    By default, the test script uses the broadcast address (0). Try using the TV address instead:

    import time
import cec

cec.init()

tv = cec.Device(cec.CECDEVICE_TV)
print "Powering TV off"
print tv.standby()
print "Sleeping to allow device to power off"
time.sleep(30)
print tv.is_on()

    thx for your answer.

    I added some lines to show you the issue. The TV was for more than 5 minutes in standby before i execute this script:

    import time
import cec

cec.init()

tv = cec.Device(cec.CECDEVICE_TV)
print "State:", tv.is_on()         <- In reality the TV was in standby
time.sleep(5)
print "State:", tv.is_on()         <- In reality the TV was in standby
time.sleep(5)
print "Powering TV on"       
print tv.power_on()               <- TV starting
print "Sleeping to allow device to power on"
time.sleep(30)
print "Powering TV off"
print tv.standby()                 <- TV goes to standby
print "Sleeping to allow device to power off"
time.sleep(30)
print tv.is_on()                     <-TV is in standby

    This is the output. You can see, aftter i have done the init i ask the power-state of the tv and the output is True, but the tv is in standby. If i started the tv and turn it of with the method the output is right.

    State: True                         <- In reality the TV was in standby
State: True                         <- In reality the TV was in standby
Powering TV on                
True                                   <- TV starting
Sleeping to allow device to power on
Powering TV off
True                                    <- TV goes to standby
Sleeping to allow device to power off
False                                   <-TV is in standby

    Here you can see the output of the monitoring:

    It's hard for me to tell if this is a bug in python-cec or in the libCEC library that we use.

    The python script you posted should be the same as sending the following commands via cec-client (the cli for libCEC):

    pow 0
on 0
pow 0
standby 0
pow 0

    If you see similar behavior from running those commands in cec-client, that would indicate that the issue is in libCEC.

    I used your commands with the following python script. Its extremly slow to execute the commands, because it has to connect for every command with the cec-client.

    I have to execute the 'on 0' twice because the tv is only start at the secound command.

    But it works. Especially the status is now every time correct. Can you use this information to narrow down the error?

    import time
import os

test = os.popen("echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1").readlines()
print test[1].strip()
time.sleep(5)
test = os.popen("echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1").readlines()
print test[1].strip()
time.sleep(5)
print "Powering TV on"
test = os.popen("echo 'on 0' | cec-client -s -d 1").readlines()
test = os.popen("echo 'on 0' | cec-client -s -d 1").readlines()
print "Sleeping to allow device to power on"
time.sleep(30)
test = os.popen("echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1").readlines()
print test[1].strip()
print "Powering TV off"
test = os.popen("echo 'standby 0' | cec-client -s -d 1").readlines()
print "Sleeping to allow device to power off"
time.sleep(30)
test = os.popen("echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1").readlines()
print test[1].strip()
