Ah, that was rather obscure. Good to know.

What I do now (and that seems to work) is that in the pulse8_setup I turn
off the autonomous mode and then write that new setting to the EEPROM. After
that it looks like the autonomous mode stays off. Is that correct?

The autonomous mode really doesn't work well with the framework as it is
today.

CEC framework support for 'wakeup on CEC command' is something that is planned
for the future.
