So I’ve got a living room computer running Cachy OS/Plasma Bigscreen that has replaced my Xbox. (I’m calling it the Xbox None)
It’s an old Dell Optiplex I picked up for cheap - runs indie titles pretty well and I can stream from my main PC.
Anyway, that’s not why I’m posting…
I can’t seem to find a way to get it to turn the TV on and off when it goes to sleep and wake up. Can anyone help?
Edit: thanks for the answers! I don’t want to buy an adapter so I guess I’ll live with having to use the remote. 🤷♂️ I am going to see if the TV settings can help me out though.


Would this work for an older receiver that doesn’t have CEC natively?
No, the TV has to support HDMI-CEC in order for the computer to power it on and off. If it does not, then perhaps an IR adapter to simulate a remote?
Thanks for the answer. I appreciate it. My TV does support CEC but doesn’t work for power on/power off.
