Homebridge shuts down after trying tu turn it off or on about homebridge-tv-cec

[reidab]

This is likely caused by the user that's running homebridge not having access to /dev/vchiq. If you're running homebridge as a user named homebridge, you can grant that access by adding them to the video group with:

sudo usermod -a -G video homebridge

You guys can try running cec-client -d 8 from your terminal and manually give it commands and see what happens

This helped me stop homebridge from crashing! ...now if only my LG TV did not have such a bad CEC implementation ;)

I’m trying this command it doesn’t help. My user is “pi”

Then try sudo usermod -a -G video pi

I tried... homebridge always crashing when I touch tv tile. I’m running official homebridge image on my raspberry. Don’t know what to do and I want to work so bad.
