    How to include link in LMS GUI to Switch-on/off Raspberry Pi via Tasmota smart plug?

    Hello all,
    I have multiple piCorePlayers running on a Raspberry Pi each.The LMS is running on a Synology NAS (Docker).
    I'd like to switch-on the Raspberry Pi's and the Amp via a smart plug (Delock 11826 running Tasmota 7.2.0) by a link included in the LMS GUI main menu calling a curl.
    Furthermore, I'd like to switch-off the Raspberry Pi and the Amp by another link and in addition via the sleep plug-in if it switches off the the PiCorePlayer software.
    Keeping the Raspberry Pi and the Amp online is no option, because of the WAF (woman acceptance factor)... ;-)
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way how to include such a link nor if there is some existing plug-in for this purpose.
    Maybe there is an easy way to write an own plug-in, but I currently don't know where to start...
    Any help is very appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!

    The usual way to approach this is via the regular "power" button on the player controls.
    Then link that event to a script.
    See the EventTrigger plugin for one way to do it.

    it was discussed on this forum within the last few days.

      I did a proof of concept for a TP-Link smart plugin where On/off was triggered by HTTP / GET on an URL - thread below is the exchange. Event trigger plugin may be easier.

        Thanks, Paul.
        I have seen this discussion, but this doesn't solve my problem, because the power button isn't available if the Raspberry Pi is completely switched-off.
        Only reachable piCorePlayers (hardware is switched-on) are listed at the upper most left corner of the GUI. But if the player is not listed there I can't switch it on...
        It also doesn't solve the problem to send a switch-off event if the sleeping count-down is over...

          Thanks bpa,
          I tried to test your plug-in. Unfortunately, it isn't compatible with the the current version of LMS...

            Good point - players disappear from the UI when they are not running ... however, there might be a way around that.
            You could use the Group Players plugin and create a group that has just one member - and then maybe you will still get events for the group player being switched off/on.

            I suspect, but have not tested, that when the sleep timer is reached it can result in a power-off event being fired.

              Not really incompatible just the install.xml is old.
              Stop LMS.
              Edit Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/RemoteControl/install.xml file and change the maxVersion from 7.* to 8.*
              Start LMS

              edit:

              Alternatively just check the box "Use unsupported extensions" (last line of Plugins page)
