Summary

LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls.

Install

Yum (Fedora Core 7)

For Fedora Core 7 I used the atrpms repository. They have already build all the necessary binaries we will need for the installation. You can checkout their install page or follow the condensed instructions.

-or-

Install the GPG-Key:

rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms

Copy the text below into the following file:

/etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
[atrpms]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
gpgcheck=1

Install the needed packages with yum:

[root@server.com etc]# yum install lirc-lib-devel lirc-lib lirc lirc-kmdl-`uname -r` lirc-devices

Lircd Files

Lircd files map infrared hex singnals to key names.

Add remotes to the lircd configuration file:

/etc/lircd.conf

Note: Lircd should be restarted after any modifications to this file.

/etc/init.d/lircd restart

Lircrc Files

Add commands to the default configuration file:

/etc/lircrc

Additionally you can add commands to another configuration file to your home directory: Note: If this file is present it will override the file in /etc/lircrc

~/.lircrc

Note: Lircd should be restarted after any modifications to this file.

/etc/init.d/lircd restart
