Hey all,

I have seen a number of threads regarding using remotes and the power button to wake Kodi. I have PI3 with Kodi installed via NOOBS and this remote http://kodi.wiki/view/Remote_controls/RF/MINIX_A2

I know it says the power should work out the box but it don't, So does anyone know how to configure this power button? I am assuming the best option would be to force the OS into sleep as if it is powered down, it wont wake again.

Any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance!

There is no sleep mode on an Rpi. They are designed to run 24/7.

To do remote switch-on of a Pi, you'd need external hardware (see this as an example - there are others around on the 'net).

I tend find issues with my PI if I dont restart once in a while. Ill it a go leaving it on 24/7. See how it performs. But on another note, That hardware addon looks perfect.

Thanks!

A cheaper alternative is now in Kickstarter and its programmable

remote control is included

I use task scheduler on my server to reboot my Pi's every day, keeps them nice and fresh.

My PIs run 24/7 with no issues.
