Back from our holiday and I can now report that it was surprisingly easy to
set up the Harmony Remote for LibreELEC on my Intel NUC, especially when I
realised that the IR sensor was not behind the small hole on the side of
the NUC.

Any suggestions about where I should post a "how to" of about 4 simple
steps?
