Options

The J-Tech Digital HDMI Matrix integration offers the following customizable options:

  • Toggle HDMI Stream: If enabled, the matrix will switch on and off the stream to HDMI outputs when the media player is turned on or off, optimizing power efficiency.

  • Toggle CAT Stream: If enabled, the matrix will switch on and off the stream over CAT outputs when the media player is turned on or off, optimizing power efficiency.

  • Send CEC Power Commands to Source: If enabled, the matrix will send power on and power off commands to the currently selected source (e.g., turning off the Apple TV when the media player is turned off).

  • Send CEC Power Commands to Output: If enabled, the matrix will send power on and power off commands to the HDMI output (e.g., turning off the TV when the media player is turned off).

  • Delay (Stream Toggle to CEC Power): Used when "Send CEC Power Commands to Source" or "Send CEC Power Commands to Output" is enabled along with "Toggle HDMI Stream" or "Toggle CAT Stream." Adds a short delay between toggling the stream and sending the CEC power command.

  • Delay (CEC Power to Source): Used when "Send CEC Power Commands to Output" is enabled. Adds a short delay between sending the CEC power command and the subsequent "source" command (to output).
