Check the output of:
$ cat /dev/usb/hiddevX
where X is 0,1 or bigger, and press some buttons on remote. If characters result, then the device is working, follow steps:
1. In file /etc/conf.d/lircd.conf
add:
LIRC_DRIVER="dvico"
2. Restart lirc.service.

$ ln -s /usr/share/lirc/remotes/lirc_wb677/lircd.conf.wb677 /etc/lirc/lircd.conf # systemctl restart lirc
Logitech Wireless Presenter R400
The R400 Presenter can be used with default configuration from devinput. Follow the following steps to be able to use the following buttons: KEY_PAGEDOWN KEY_PAGEUP KEY_DISPLAYTOGGLE KEY_PRESENTATION
.
1. Copy the default devinput configuration which should work out of the box for the R400:
# cp /usr/share/lirc/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
2. Create the following Udev rule to create the correct symlink whenever you connect your presenter:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-logitech-r400-lirc.rules
[Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/ir
3. Create the lirc service configuration file to start the lirc service with the correct settings for your presenter whenever you want to transform it into a remote control:
/etc/systemd/system/lirc.service.d/logitech-r400.conf
[Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/ir
3. Start lirc and use irw
to test whether your keys are recognised:
$ irw 000000008001006d 00 KEY_PAGEDOWN devinput 0000000080010068 00 KEY_PAGEUP devinput 00000000800101af 00 KEY_DISPLAYTOGGLE devinput 00000000800101a9 00 KEY_PRESENTATION devinput
4. Create your program-specific configurations as described here.
Serial Port "Home Brew" IR Receiver
1. Create a udev rule to give non-privleged users read/write access to the serial port. In this example, ttyS0 is used.
/etc/udev/rules.d/z98-serial.rules
# For serial port ttyS0 and LIRC KERNEL=="ttyS0",SUBSYSTEM=="tty",DRIVERS=="serial",MODE="0666"
2. Create the needed modprobe configs
/etc/modules-load.d/lirc_serial.conf
lirc_serial
/etc/modprobe.d/lirc_serial.conf
install lirc_serial /usr/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none && /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install lirc_serial options lirc_serial type=0 remove lirc_serial /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove lirc_serial && /sbin/modprobe -r lirc_dev
3. Install a custom systemd service file.
/etc/systemd/system/lirc.service
[Unit] Description=Linux Infrared Remote Control After=network.target [Service] Type=simple PIDFile=/run/lirc/lircd.pid ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /dev/lirc /dev/lircd /var/run/lirc/lircd ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircd -n -r -P /run/lirc/lircd.pid -d /dev/lirc0 -o /run/lirc/lircd ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/ln -sf /run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/ln -sf /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc ExecReload=/bin/kill -SIGHUP $MAINPID [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
4. We still need the default tmpfiles to be created, so copy that config file to /etc/tmpfiles.d/lirc.conf
.
# cp -a /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/lirc.conf /etc/tmpfiles.d/lirc.conf
5. Create a ~/.lircrc
or a /etc/lirc/lircrc
file for system wide use.
6. Enable lirc.service and reboot or load the lirc_serial
kernel module and start lirc.service.
PS3 Bluetooth BD remote controller
1. Create a udev rule to symlink /dev/input/bdremote -> /dev/input/event*. Input devices like /dev/input/event12 might come up as another device after a reboot.
/etc/udev/rules.d/95-bd-remote.rules
# symlink to /dev/input/event* KERNEL=="event*",SUBSYSTEM=="input",ATTRS{name}=="BD Remote Control",SYMLINK+="input/bdremote"
2. Reload udev rules.
# udevadm control --reload-rules
3.Edit lirc service parameters.
/etc/conf.d/lircd.conf
# # Parameters for lirc daemon # LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/bdremote" LIRC_DRIVER="devinput" LIRC_EXTRAOPTS=""
4.Create keymap config file.
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/ps3.bdremote.lircd.conf
