Hello, I'm working on a home automation system with a raspberry pi as a hub for a relay and an ir transmitter using lirc, planning to control it all with openhab running on my server. After searching quite a bit for a way to interact with lirc via openhab or mqtt I found your code and tried it. It works great, I'm still testing my code and hardware but so far so good, I can send mqtt commands to send IR signals and control my devices. Thank you. The only thing I'm not able to do it's start lirc2mqtt at boot, I was planning on using rc.local just because I don't need anything more, I'm already using it to subscribe to a mqtt topic for other devices. Do you have any advice? Thanks again for your work.

Hi, I'm using PM2 for handling my node processes, but there are many more way to to do this. Take a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4018154/node-js-as-a-background-service Regards, Sebastian

Thanks, that was usefull. I will try the windows option. In linux I eventually succeded with adding it to rc.local, I had a bad line before the one for lirc2mqtt so lirc2mqtt wasn't executing. Thanks.
