[PLUGIN] IR Remote Controller feedback thread

Hi all,
…
I was able to start mode2 to capture the pulses, so I can pretty much rule out hardware.

mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

Ok, then you can check if the received pulses are mapped to key commands running

irw

Have a look at section “Examples” on http://www.lirc.org/html/irw.html how the ouput should look like. If you do not see a mapped key I guess the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file is missing, damaged or not appropriate for your remote control.

Just in case: You can create your own lircd.conf running

irrecord -n -d /dev/lirc0  /path/<remote_name>.conf

If you should create your own lircd.conf you may copy it to /data/plugins/system_controller/ir_controller/configurations/<remote_name>/ so the IR Remote Controller plugin can install it to /etc/lirc/ when you choose the remote through the UI.

I then started lircd, irexec and the lirc.service; but I still can’t control Volumio. Also I don’t know how to check whether everything is sent to the correct process (irexec?).

volumio@volumiomain:~$ sudo lircd volumio@volumiomain:~$ sudo irexec -d /etc/lirc/lircrc volumio@volumiomain:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start [ ok ] Starting lirc (via systemctl): lirc.service.

To start lirc it should be sufficient to run

systemctl start lirc.service

But this should happen by enabling the IR Remote Controller plugin (which I assume you have still installed).
