IR Control Learn/Send

Hi to all!
As a complete newbie to the Domoticz world, I'm trying to gather all possibile information about how to expand my home domotic system (actually based on a rbpi3 + ZWave dev)

I'm quite interested in IR control (for TV, HVAC control) but I've (afaik) seen on the board that this issue does not have a definitive solution.

Is there a WiKi for implementing an IRTrans LAN Device?

thanks to all
ciao
M

There is other solutions too, both ESP Easy and MySensors have support for IR tranceivers and they can be added to domoticz.

thanks for your reply...

irTrans was my choice just because that's the hardware I have available (I'm using it with iRed on mu iPad to remote control mySKYHD box)...

but I'm still unclear how to use LIRC in domoticz... :P

LIRC support in Domoticz is "manual". I've setup a custom LIRC sender/receiver, and it was not easy...
You have to use "irexec" to update states with "curl" to Domoticz when IR codes are received and use "irsend" in Domoticz scripts to manually send IR codes.
If Domoticz could be a LIRC client, everything would be much easier :)
