TisVlay
FOSS utility that brings TV display control to Linux, including power, volume, backlight, AV mute, and input switching, with per-device profile automation via desktop session integration (idle/lock, boot/suspend, remote login/streaming) and reverse control letting the TV lock, sleep, or wake the PC and its remote drive the desktop. Supports various vendor interface protocols for multi-display setups to mitigate energy usage, OLED panel burn-in, and projector bulb burn-out. Currently in beta but daily drivable and fully documented; ongoing work focuses on distro packaging and custom ATmega firmware in Rust for HDMI CEC USB adapters to work around TV firmware bugs.
