Usage

EpyMC read your remote using the lirc daemon socket, usually /var/run/lirc/lircd. Lircd must be running and you must have a working lircd.conf file. Once lirc is up and running you can bind your buttons to the epymc events just using the Configuration > Remote section in the program.

Usefull list of premade lird.conf files for many remote can be found at the lirc site and also at lircconfig.

You can test your lirc configuration (outside epymc) by reading the socket and pressing some keys:

socat - /var/run/lirc/lircd

you should see something like this:

0000000asd 00 KEY_NAME YOUR_REMOTE_NAME

Hint

To bind more than one key to the same event, you must edit the empymc.conf file by hand and separate multiple keys using the | (pipe) symbol. example:

[lirc]
device = /var/run/lirc/lircds
key_up = UP
key_down = DOWN|DOWN2
