Using Logitech Media Server Power On/Off to control I/O Pin on Raspberry-Pi

I want to control the state of an I/O pin on the Pi board in response to changing the state of the Power On/Off on the Logitech Media Server (or other controller).

I can then use this logic state to switch an external amp on and off.

Seems like a simple idea. I’m sure somebody’s done this already, so I’ll ask before I spend hours trying to re-invent the wheel!

(I found this LMS plugin: sbnetio which does something similar, but not the I/O pin control)
