Introduction
This program can be used in two different modes:
- Either it is waiting for an id button on a
MQTTtopic and execute the correspondingLIRCcommand, by communicating with thelircdunix socket - Or it is waiting for an IR command, and send it directly to the IR driver, bypassing
lircd
Configuration to use lircd
This program can be configured through a configuration file called config.yml in the same folder.
