Borax6878 Posted April 12, 2025 Report Posted April 12, 2025 I'm looking to buy a mini PC that has a motherboard with wake (from hibernate) on USB capability that works with the Flirc USB. I have a Flirc USB in my desktop PC and waking from hibernate with my IR remote works fine. For the bedroom I'd like a mini PC that can also wake from an IR remote so I would buy a second Flirc USB for the bedroom. I'm replacing a raspberry pi 3 which is becoming too slow for modern versions of kodi. A raspberry pi 5 would do the job but a mini PC running linux or windows isn't much more expensive and is more flexible. Which mini PC can wake from hibernation with a Flirc USB? PS. I have a minisforum mini PC whose motherboard doesn't support wake on USB so don't say they all do. Quote

Borax6878 Posted April 19, 2025 Author Report Posted April 19, 2025 Thanks but I need wake from hibernation like my desktop. Lots of momentary outages here so hibernation/S4 can restart from its previous location even after it loses AC power. My minisforum mini PC can wake from sleep but I need wake on USB from hibernate.
