I am in the market to purchase a Android TV box. But I would like one that can turn ON my TV and switch the HDMI input to itself (Android TV Box).
From my little research I believe HDMI CEC does this. But what I don't know is which Android TV box supports this feature. I would also like to see if I can turn it on through a Google home.
All the major Android TV boxes support this feature , but keep in mind that your TV has to support it as well
This is the exact functions of something called HDMI CEC.
For example: TV and Mi Box are both connected by HDMI, and turned off. I click the power button on my Mi Box and the TV turns on and the input is switched to the HDMI that the Mi Box uses.
Most consumer electronics support HDMI CEC in various degrees, but turning on and off is easy to have.
And yes, I can turn on everything from the Google Home app on my phone.
Mi box 3, amazon tv box, amazon firestick
I have a Mi Box 3 (MDZ-16-AB) and I use it this way.
Wake up and sleep from remote control AND google home.
The only config I had to do was enable all HDMI CEC options.
If u plan to install lot of games, then 500gb. If u plan to only stream media then 16gb is good enough
