pjjameso Posted April 13 Posted April 13 The lg has simplink (CEC) which turns off/on the appleTV box. This makes it a pain in the *** when creating activities in the harmony elite. I currently have a work around by waiting 7 seconds after tv shutdown to turn it back on. Was wondering if a better solution would be to install the harmony NS and write a program that tests for the power state of the appletv and if off turn on. Will I be able to accomplish this with the NS? BTW you cannot disable simplink and have it stick if you are using earc. Quote

pjjameso Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 (edited) You can but the LG turns it back on. Seems to be a known issue if you use eArc. Edited April 13 by pjjameso Quote
atmarosi Posted April 13 Posted April 13 What about like this? Open the Apple TV Go to Settings Remotes and Devices Control TVs and Receivers Click it to turn it off Quote
pjjameso Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 Already off in appletv, lg overrides and turns on and off. Truly a pita… Quote

pjjameso Posted April 13 Author Posted April 13 Genius! Thanks so much just ordered a blocker. Will revert if it solves the issue. Quote
oberkc Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Interesting. I have had a couple of LG TVs and I thought they also had the ability to disable the CEC feature, or whatever they call it. Quote
pjjameso Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 From Grok it appears the appletv is very aggressive with cec. Just received the blocker and it works perfectly. Now I have consistent automation using the harmony elite remote. Quote
