Go through Kodi menu Settings (Wheel) - Services - Control - Allow remote control via HTTP slider
Its not there. However i found it in the end and i thought i would share as it may save time for someone else
Running 10.0,2 It is not where the Kore support says it is .
Instead look under
Weather option (Expert Mode)
Once that is clicked you will see the following options
General
Control
UPnP/DNLA
AirPlay
SMB Client
Weather
Select Control and enable Allow remote access via HTTP
