Remote Power On

Hello All

First Post. Thanks to all who contribute to this web site and forum.

I recently upgraded my "Black Box MXQ Meson8B" to libreelec and it went perfect. Got it to work on the second image "S805 MXQ". "HD18Q" had some issues with my wifi and would crash. Anyways, working on getting the remote.conf installed. Got all the buttons working with the remote.conf from the "HD18Q" version.

Only one issue left.......

Is it possible to get the box to turn on with the remote? I am able to turn it off no problems.

Hope I am missing something simple.

Thanks

I am running Libreelec on a laptop and have the same problem. Am able to shutdown the system, but not wake it.

I think the fundamental problem is that the device is POWERED off. There is nothing running, so there is nothing to monitor key presses or anything.

The best you could do is use a RF plug remote or the newer "phone" controllers. Or, perish the thought, flick a switch.

I guess a simile would be modern cars that switch the engine off when you're idle but start again when you put you foot on the accelerator. However when you switch the engine off with the key - no matter how many times you hit the accelerator the car will just not start.
