Rebooting Librelec

1st Official Post

    Hi there I've a few Rasberry Pis running LE all fine.

    Sometimes one of the Pis with a SAT tuner can lock up.

    I have an Orange Pi with Armbian that I use for stuff like node-red for home automation

    I can set up Alexa to so I can say Alexa turn on Tuner and that will kick of a process in Node Red

    What I want to do is link a task in node red to restart the LE instance ideally I'd like to call a static URL eg REBOOT

    I could ssh to the box using keypairs / sshpass etc but I thought a URL if it existed or could be added would be better.

    What I'd like is the ability to restart any of the RP so I can just say Alexa turn on X where X is the name of one of the units.

    Like I explained I can can invoke a script from node red if needed but a URL on other protocol with no remote dependencies and ideally no local dependencies (like SSHPASS) would be good.

    It depends on what software component is failing when the tuner 'locks up' .. i.e. if a kernel driver failed is the kernel still responsive to receive a command over SSH or from a higher-in-the-stack app like Kodi which has a webserver and JSON API that should be able to initiate a reboot; unless it's Kodi that has locked up and gone unresponsive.
