Overview
CEC control in URC is best accessed by allowing the Accelerate process to build a user interface automatically. In order to do that through the Just Add Power system, a CEC driver must be converted to a CEC over IP driver. This change allows the URC processor to send CEC commands to a Just Add Power device over the network.
All functions on all manufacturers and models use the same CEC commands. The driver can be used without modification. The most important factor to functionality is whether the display manufacturer decided to support the function or not.
Disclaimer: Only the Power On, Power Off, and Input 1 commands have been tested. All other commands will see varying levels of success.

- Select the CEC TV driver
- Connect the HDMI output that the Just Add Power Receiver is in and connect it to the Output on the Just Add Power switching driver that matches its position in the matrix. The Report File contains this information.
