automatic HDMI switch

Post by wdickenson »

Is there a simple way to switch HDMI inputs without resorting to changing sources ?

I've been using my PI to display results from my weather station, and I was wondering if there is a way, when my STB (DVR) goes to sleep, that i can automagically switch to the PI input rather like a screen saver ? Like a lot of things, this probably sounds easier than it is.

Thanks

HDMI switches do exist, but you're right that they're more complicated than a simple relay.

You'd probably need to start with an off-the-shelf switch and figure out how to send it the trigger signal when you want.
