Smart Plug with LibreELEC

Hi, I want to turn on my cinematic lights etc. automatically when LibreELEC starts. I tried to install this, but it does not work:

Code

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Code

sudo apt-get install git-core
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
cd wiringPi
git pull origin
./build

Code

sudo mkdir /opt/rcswitch-pi
cd /opt/rcswitch-pi
sudo wget http://www.onkeldave.de/pi/rcswitch-pi.zip
sudo unzip rcswitch-pi
sudo make

I read that it is disabled to install things like this because of stability, but I would like to do it anyway. Can you tell me how?

It is not "disabled" it is "not possible" .. because the entire LibreELEC OS is contained in two read-only files. There is no apt-get. Things like wiringPi need to be compiled and packaged as an add-on.

see [IR PowerButton for RPI] Gracefully shutdown LE with an IR control switch which might be what you are looking for.

Ok, thanks I'll have a look

The problem is that I need rcswitch in addition to wiringPi and for example the command:

Code

sudo /opt/rcswitch-pi/send 11111 4 1

Has someone done this already?
