2. Install this plugin using: sudo npm install -g homebridge-tv-cec
3. Install cec-utils if cec-client command is not present: sudo apt-get install cec-utils

• On Raspberry Pi's OSMC image, cec-cilent is present at /usr/osmc/bin/cec-client-4.0.2, need to run sudo ln -s /usr/osmc/bin/cec-client-4.0.2 /usr/bin/cec-client to link it to default $PATH*

   You might have to disable Kodi's (if installed) build in CEC functionality as it will interfere with this plugin
