## HDMI-CEC
The **HDMI-CEC** item (on every PC, never ticked by default) installs
Valve's CEC stack from its SteamOS `holo` repository, the newest `holo-X.Y`
on `steamdeck-packages.steamos.cloud`, each package checked against the
SHA-256 in Valve's package index:
- `cecd`, Valve's CEC daemon (a user service started with the desktop and
gaming mode): TV remote keys become normal key presses (arrows, Enter,
Back), and it turns the TV on and off with the PC;
- `cec-audio-control`: volume of the TV or receiver;
- `inputattach-cec-units` (with `linuxconsole` from CachyOS for
`inputattach`): attaches USB CEC adapters (Pulse-Eight, RainShadow).
It works with any `/dev/cec*`: a GPU that has CEC on its HDMI port (the
Steam Machine; the CachyOS kernel has DisplayPort CEC built in) or a USB
adapter. The menu lists the CEC devices found. Also turn on CEC on the TV
(Sony: BRAVIA Sync, Samsung: Anynet+, LG: SimpLink). On a Steam Machine
`steamos-manager` writes cecd's settings from Steam's (wake the TV, put it to
sleep), in `~/.config/cecd/config.d/`.
It's experimental: on SteamOS itself CEC can wake the Steam Machine right
after it goes to sleep (Samsung TVs,
[SteamOS#2626](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/2626)) and
upset CEC for the TV's other devices
([SteamOS#2817](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/2817)).
Turning it off removes the packages again (`linuxconsole` only if the
wizard installed it).
