Maybe you should post in the right section of this forum as it´s clearly not a hardware problem..

Hm, wasn't sure were to put this because it seemed like a hardware problem to me as it only affects users with an additional CEC adapter.
So where should I've put my request?

Sorry for bringing this old thread back up, but I'm still annoyed by this problem. And yes, I still think this is a hardware related problem:
XBMC has build in support for the HDMI-CEC adapter add-on made by the fine folks at Pulse Eight. But this implementation doesn't recognize the Windows "Away-Mode".
So basically when ever Windows wakes up for a scheduled recording or maintaining job, XBMC sends out a CEC-command and turns on the TV and AVR. But the proper behavior should be, that XBMC detects the wake-up call has come not from a user input and Windows is using the Away-Mode to disable audio and video output.

Still not working for me. Kodi still wakes up my entire collection of home theatre devices just because I've scheduled a recording with DVBLink and Kodi doesn't recognize the Away-Mode call.

Perhaps go through the cec settings in kodi - there are quite a few of them.

Including by you . this is open source, developers scratch their own itches. Maybe it is simply that no Dev cares.
FWIW my PVR backend is in the garage. It doesn't turn anything on or off.

I'm failing to see the issue here, Kodi is for use with a front end, so it should turn the TV and AVR when it becomes active, Sounds like its an issue with your other hardware and serverWMC not Kodi. If you are using everything on one box than that is just a limitation of setting up things that way, your backend shouldn't be connected to anything, so when it wakes up to record there is nothing to turn on.
