Installing Domoticz on OpenElec RPi?

Post by MsbS »

I have no idea where to put my question - 'Installation' might be correct.

I have a Pi3 running OpenElec. OpenElec is a Kodi release which works great on a Pi, but is pretty closed (root access only, but no apt to install stuff). Oh, disclaimer: my *nix knowledge is quite basic, so I may be mixing things up.

Anyway - I would like to monitor the temperature of the OpenElec machine (preferably via Domoticz which I have already installed on another RPi). My first idea was to install Domoticz on the openelec machine - but I cannot do this (curl and apt are not there).

Does anyone have similar setup? I tried searching but most of the results I get are either about controlling Kodi from Domoticz (via web), or just Kodi plugins to view the Domoticz dashboard within Kodi.

Don't know about OpenElec, I don't use it because I don't like a distro that tries to prohibit access to my own hardware. But... OSMC should do the trick, it's Debian Jessie based and you can access apt and all that. The only thing is you shouldn't do an apt upgrade, as it can break the system. Upgrades are accomplished from within the Kodi app.
