I would like to use a raspberry PI to detect when my AppleTV goes to sleep and wakes up and programmatically turn my tv on or off using its RS232C or custom CEC commands. Maybe someone in this group can succeed in doing it:Īpple TV 4 CEC integration is great when it works, but it doesn't work all the time and not with all the various equipment out there, you can do a search across forums and you will see lots of unhappy users. I tried to post below on apple discussion / support communities but was told i don't have the right to post this content.

Monitoring the bluetooth communication between the Siri Remote and the Apple TV, if that's possible.

Running an 'always on' program in the background of the Apple TV that sends a signal when the Apple TV wakes up, if that's even possible.

(I should note that I do not have "Control TVs and Receivers" enabled on the Apple TV, and can't turn it on for the particular project I'm working on because I need the Apple TV to not change the TV's input.)

I have a PC (connected to the same TV as the Apple TV) that has a Pulse-Eight USB-CEC adapter, so naturally the first thing I tried was using CEC to determine when the Apple TV is awake.

This will generally only ever happen when someone pressed a button on its Siri remote to wake it up. I'm working on some home automation programs and one of the things I want to be able to do is detect when my 4th generation Apple TV has woken from sleep.
