Thanks all. I decided to stick with this remote I already own, and only have the TV and NUC setup here with no cableTV, so an IR remote like the harmony isn't of much need.
What I'm trying to accomplish is turn on/wake the NUC via USB/RF remote (as pictured).
Has anyone been able to turn on/wake the NUC via a remote/keyboard/mouse as a USB device?
Thanks. I'm using the RF keyboard/mouse remote as in the image I posted.. trying to get the NUC to Power On via USB S5 State.. can't seem to get it to work.
Has anyone been able to get Power On/Wake via USB activity - to work on the NUC?
I have an Intel NUC8I7 that has onboard HDMI-CEC, with settings in BIOS.
What I want to accomplish is when I press the TV Power button.. it of course Power's On the TV - and that would send HDMI-CEC signal to turn On the NUC running LibreELEC.
Same sort of scenario going from On to Off.. press the TV Power button again.. turns Off the TV - and that would send HDMI-CEC signal to turn Off the NUC and shutdown LibreELEC.
This seemingly should also work by Powering On/Off the NUC and having the TV respond accordingly vs pressing the TV power button and having the NUC respond accordingly.
Are there settings in LibreELEC to get this working with the NUC's onboard HDMI-CEC?
Below is the information on the NUC onboard settings taken from the manual:
Thanks guys. I have the Harmony remote bookmarked.
Has anyone come across an IR remote that also has keyboard/mouse? For example I have this remote in the picture now, but it just has a USB dongle believe for RF.
Also, any possible way to make a speaker system (Logitech Z623) that didn't come with IR, work with the Harmony or any IR remote? Via adapter or something?
CEC runs over the HDMI connection and allows you to use the TV remote to control other devices directly attached to the TV e.g. DVD player, HTPC with LE. You can buy TV's that support CEC, but not remotes; it's not a remote (device) protocol.
Thank you for that. So I guess I need to look for an IR remote then, that would include a keyboard/mouse variation.
If only my speaker setup could be controlled via IR..
I use a Harmony 650 with the Microsoft Media Center Extender program. I don't use HDMI-CEC on either of my NUC set-ups.
With that remote do you use the internal NUC IR controller? Does that remote turn on/off with the press of the power button and all that good stuff? Much config needed?
I'd just be installing LibreELEC as the OS, separate from Windows so not sure about the Media Center Extender program? Are you running Kodi on Windows or?
Appreciate the response, thank you.

I have a NUC8I7BEH (has HDMI-CEC and IR support), similar NUC models apply.. I want to be able to power on/off the NUC and TV (with the same button?), and be able to navigate LibreELEC/Kodi with the same remote.
My take is this can be done by either HDMI-CEC or IR infrared remotes.. what remote setups are you all using with the NUC that accomplish this?
Thank you i ill double check my bios later i can't remeber if cec is enabled or disabled.
If disabled and enabled it and can turn my nuc on then i don't need my order anymore
Should be disabled in the NUC's BIOS, for the adapter you already have to work properly. Let me know how it goes!
Out of curiosity, what TV and remote are you using with the CEC? Are you able to navigate LibreELEC/Kodi with your TV remote?
I'm trying to determine if an HDMI-CEC remote or an IR remote is the way to go.. I want to be able to power on/off the NUC and TV (with the same button) and be able to navigate LibreELEC/Kodi - with the same remote.
Marciano looks like your NUC has Onboard CEC like my version HDMI CEC Information for Intel® NUC
If you haven't turned the Onboard CEC off in BIOS, it can cause issues with the Pulse Eight adapter you're using (its either one or the other from what I've read). From the Intel technical specs, Note 5:
You should be able to turn on/off the NUC and TV (given the TV is CEC supported) without the adapter - just by using the BIOS settings in the NUC - the Intel link has the info on the BIOS settings.
However, the Onboard NUC CEC only supports on/off functions.. the Pulse Eight adapter will offer more CEC functionality.. per Pulse Eight support: Our adapter provides full bi-directional control, such as arrow keys, numbers, channel up/down, etc
I haven't received my NUC yet, still being shipped, also ordered the NUC Pulse Eight adapter, let me know how you make out - if you get yours in before I do 
Cheers
I have an 8th gen Intel NUC NUC8I7BEH - it has onboard CEC controlled by the BIOS.
Will the Pulse Eight CEC adapter for the NUC give me more functionality or what's the deal?
If there is more functionality, is there a list of what differs?

Thank you

I have an 8th gen Intel NUC with onboard CEC, and TV that also supports CEC. I use this remote below, it is connected to my PC with a USB dongle.
Am I able to utilize CEC with this remote (for example, turn on the TV and Kodi with a power button)? Or can I only use the TV remote for CEC functions?
The reason I want to use the remote in the image below, is it has a keyboard and mouse pad..
If this remote will not work, are there aftermarket CEC functioning remotes that include a keyboard and mouse pad form factor (I couldn't find any)? Or is there a 'universal' remote that can turn on my PC, and TV without CEC?
Or will I be limited to just using the 'arrow' buttons and such on the standard TV remote to toggle through Kodi via CEC?

I guess I'm missing the link on why all the cores work in Libretro.. Anyway, do you know how to package 'add-ons' for installing - say I just wanted Moonlight, or Chrome added on to the LE 9.0 beta OS - are there any how to's I can follow to get there.
I rather keep the gaming as much as integrated into LibreELEC/Kodi as I can with the RetroPlayer.. Unless, in the LE 9.0 Remix, would Retroarch/Emulationstation open cleanly/integrated - or is it like a whole other GUI that opens and 'shuts down' LibreELEC/Kodi?
Thank you, will give it a whirl.
Cheers
Will embedded flash videos play? That I guess is the big one.
Appreciate your responses
I want to load the Dolphin, ParallelN64 and Reicast cores that are missing from RetroPlayer in LibreELEC beta 9 versions. I have a 64bit PC, so don't have any hardware limitations. These cores worked in Lakka, and the LE Remix build looks to have dolphin. I know parallel should work if dolphin does.. can anyone help get these to work?
Is this Lakka process the same for compiling cores into LibreELEC? http://www.lakka.tv/doc/packaging-a-libretro-core-for-lakka/
Can someone help translate this into working with RetroPlayer?
The cores are GitHub - libretro/parallel-n64: Optimized/rewritten Nintendo 64 emulator made specifically for Libretro. Originally based on Mupen64 Plus. GitHub - libretro/reicast-emulator: Reicast is a multiplatform Sega Dreamcast emulator GitHub - libretro/dolphin: Dolphin is a GameCube / Wii emulator, allowing you to play games for these two platforms on PC with improvements.

I am trying to move from windows for my media PC upon getting a 4K tv (scaling sucks) - but the thing holding me back is web browsing. I plan to run LibreELEC on a 64bit PC hardware, which upon research using the Leia 9.0 beta I can install Google Chrome (not sure if there is any other Browser available).
Before I wipe out my windows machines and go this route, can anyone confirm with 64bit PC that the Chrome browser (or if another browser is out there) will allow me to view any website I go to.. stream YouTube, any embedded flash stream websites, espn.com, cbs.com, dailymotion, vimeo, Netflix, etc?
For instance, I watch sports through espn.com and they have an embedded web player, some of the 4k video websites embed flash, etc - can I presume that everything will play through Chrome just as on a regular PC windows OS - or does this Chrome on LibreELEC have limitations with plugins, flash players, etc?Open to other suggestions to browse the web through LibreELEC if they are out there besides Chrome.
Thank you
Lakka is an OS, LibreELEC is an OS, you can't install Lakka into LibreELEC.
Makes sense, thank you - keep forgetting Lakka was a frontend (installed long ago on a USB stick)
So, can additional cores and such just be added into RetroPlayer? N64, Dreamcast, and I believe Wii are missing from a list I saw. They all worked on Lakka..
