I am trying to turn on my TV using a Raspberry Pi.
I have followed the below instructions and added my remote config file, however, am having no luck! Any suggestions.
When running sudo /etc/init.d/lircd status, I get

You are using the hardware.conf file, but this is not supported in the lirc version you are using (old howto?). The log file isn't that useful, you might want to raise the debug level (man lircd), but it seems OK at a glance. The real question is if your lircd.conf is what you need. Also, I don't know how lirc_rpi works, but you should verify it using mode2(1) (with lircd.service stopped) first. See the official configuration manual at lirc.org

You are using the hardware.conf file, but this is not supported in the lirc version you are using (old howto?). The log file isn't that useful, you might want to raise the debug level (man lircd), but it seems OK at a glance. The real question is if your lircd.conf is what you need. Also, I don't know how lirc_rpi works, but you should verify it using mode2(1) (with lircd.service stopped) first. See the official configuration manual at lirc.org
