Just in case it helps anyone. I have a NUC5CPYK, running LE 8.02. When it was Openelec, I bought an MCE remote and it worked great. I got another NUC (same celeron model) and it became the one I used the MCE remote with, and it became the southern vacation home HTPC. I brought the old NUC home with me in April, right about the time the LibreElec 8.02 upgrade happened. Upgraded to 8.02. I was using a Logitech keyboard/pad on the NUC up north. Experimented with an old IPad and something called iWaveit IR dongle (and a remote building app called Tabula Rasa.) The iPad is 1st gen and won't go higher than IOS5, so I had to use old technology to make the remote. I built a remote that handles the TV, A/V receiver, BluRay Disc, and Sony PS3, but could not get the NUC CIR to respond to the MCE commands from Tabula Rasa. After much angst, I upgraded the NUC5CPYK BIOS from 0054 to 0062. That did the trick. FWIW.
