For my home automation project (using Hejmo), I’m using a remote made for Windows Media Center. I also have a Logitech Z-680 5.1 sound system, which I control using the LIRC « irsend » command. For all of this to work, here are the necessary steps…
First, I’ve installed LIRC:
$ sudo apt-get install lirc lirc-modules-source This command asks for the remote model ; I couldn’t find mine in the list but I knew exactly which configuration file I needed, so I’ve simply answered « None ».
