Control up to 15 devices connected to TV via HDMI-CEC with just one remote control

By

Consumer Electronics control (CEC) is a design/feature of HDMI used to control different devices functions via HDMI. For example a single TV remote can control set-top box , DVD player functions via HDMI-CEC Technology.

How to check if your TV has HDMI-CEC
Its simple. just check your HDMI ports on your TV. If HDMI-ARC is mentioned then CEC is Supported. otherwise not supported.
Also you can check it out in TV settings panel > Media Control > HDMI-CEC


For example I have a Samsung HDTV which has two HDMI ports but both of them dont support CEC.
It has labels HDMI AV for Audio/Video and HDMI STB for set-top box respectively.

Nowadays its common to find CEC enabled Smart TVs.

SETUP

Setup is Hassle free.
  • Connect your Devices like Set-top-box , DVR , DVD player , Sound bar/Speakers , Firetv stick , Apple tv , Roku streaming stick , etc .. via HDMI port
  • Turn on HDMI-CEC on both ,TV as well as on external device.
  • Settings might differ so google it.
  • Setup Complete , checking time 
Testing and checking what functions can you control from a single remote 
  • Power : You can switch on/off  your Firetv stick/ Apple tv / Roku / DVD player
  • Sound : You can control sound of you TV + external connected devices like Sound bars/Speakers or set-top box

( (( ( ( Project RangeS3 ) ) ) ) ) Solution to Weak Wi-fi Signal propagation from old Wireless Router by using a Wi-fi repeater Application on the Android phone Hello guys , Welcome to another technical blog in which I will show you a very interesting application that will extend your Wi-fi signal in your home with zero cost and minimum setup time. Without any further due, lets gets started. In these Blog, I will discuss all of the following points below: Why we want to extend our Wi-fi signal present in our home network and what are the benefits of doing it? What are the reasons that I have used this method in this project instead of buying a new Wireless Router? If Wifi signal is not the issue then why to use this App? Why to use specific Wi-fi Repeater application VPN HOTSPOT by MyGodStudio on play store instead of all other Wi-Fi-repeater applications available? Technical specs and conditions to satisfy before proceeding further? How to Implement this project and how-to s

Data Structures book chapter 3 exercise solutions

 1. What are arrays and why are they needed? Arrays are the most important and brilliant piece of development in software area. They are grouped into data structures and its use and implications is very high in programming languages. So what are arrays, Array is also a type of variable just like int, char, float, etc.. but with some changes. Here array has a structure, data structure with a collection of data elements in a structured way of storing it. It holds similar type of data elements. Why are they needed, consider this example. there are 20 students whose marks is to be scanned and printed. So in terms of programming language, we need at least 20 variables to hold 20 students marks, 20 statements or ( 1 statement with 20 variables ) for getting input, 20 print statements for printing marks. Therefore it is really manual, tedious, highly taxing and error prone process. Since this was only 20 students, consider 200, 2000, 20000 or 200000 students data entry job. It is exponentiall
