Description: # HDMI CEC to ADB
        
        Turns off an Android TV using a Raspberry Pi and adb shell commands. Not all Android TVs respect the HDMI "standby" 
        command (even if the HDMI-CEC settings are enabled) and as result, the won't turn off automatically when a 
        standby broadcast message is sent via HDMI. 
        
        This package aims to solve that using `python-cec` / `libcec` and `adb` (Android Debug Bridge). When a broadcast 
        standby command has been sent, this program sends an adb shell command to turn off the TV using key input.
        
        ## Installation
        
        There are a few steps to getting all the pieces working.
        
        ### Android TV Setup
        
        Turn on your Android TV "Developer Mode" and enable adb debug logging.
        
        ### Install Raspbian
        
        For this setup to work, you will need a Raspberry PI and will need to complete the guide from 
        [PiMyLifeUp](https://pimylifeup.com/raspberrypi-hdmi-cec/). This basically installs a Raspberry PI with
        Raspbian and `cec-client` which is required to communicate with HDMI and used by this library.
        
        ### Copy adb keys
        
        You will need to copy public and private keys to your `/home/pi/.android/` folder on the Raspberry PI. These could be
        taken from any computer were `adb` is installed. These allow from communication over TCP/IP and to turn off the TV.
        
        ### Install hdmi_cec_to_adb
        
        Once your Raspberry PI is setup, install hdmi_cec_to_adb and setup a cron to automatically start on boot.
        
        ```bash
        # assuming you have virtualenvwrapper already installed
        mkvirtualenv hdmi_cec_to_adb
        
        pip install hdmi-cec-to-adb
        ```
        
        ```bash
        # Add the following to your crontab and make sure you use your TV IP Address
        SHELL=/bin/bash
        @reboot source /home/pi/.virtualenvs/hdmi_cec_to_adb/bin/activate && start_hdmi_cec_monitor --tv_ip_address=192.168.1.99 --adb_key_filepath=/home/pi/.android/adbkey
        ```
