Unfortunately I cannot use my (or any) universal media remote with this TV. There are no dedicated HDMI Buttons on the remote to learn the codes from, and the HDMI buttons on the harmony remote do not work.
I cannot even use a sequence of button presses because the HDMI menu changes order each time depending on what the last active device was / is.
A USB keyboard should work to change the HDMI inputs, on Android TVs the function keys are normally mapped to HDMI inputs F1 = HDMI 1, F2 = HDMI 2 etc. but the function keys are locked out on a USB Keyboard so I can't use that either.
Next, i have tried sending commands to Android directly with ADB, but both "KEY_HDMI1" and "KEYCODE_TV_INPUT_HDMI_1" are also not functional.
Next I tried a Raspberry Pi with CEC-Client, now you should be able to change HDMI inputs with RAW CEC commands, but no. The CEC commands to change input, also do not work. (i can change the volume with this method)
All of the home automation (Home Assistant, OpenHAB, Smartthings) do not work as they rely on the Android ADB method.
All i want to be able to do is change the HDMI without using the included remote, it's been hours of tinkering and now I am out of ideas but all off the above should work
