The Lirc protocol tries to automatically connect to Lirc when pilight starts. When a connection can be made, it will send the same output as shown with irw in a pilight format.

root@pi:~# irw
000000037ff07be0 00 KEY_ARROWDOWN logitech-harmony-300i

root@pi:~# pilight-receive
{
        "code": {
                "id": "000000037ff07be0",
                "repeat": "00",
                "button": "KEY_ARROWDOWN",
                "remote": "logitech-harmony-300i"
        },
        "origin": "receiver",
        "protocol": "lirc"
}

Whenever, a connection to Lirc is lost, pilight will try to automatically reconnect.

All signal processing will be done by Lirc, so make sure you have a working Lirc configuration. Tutorials on this can be found all around the internet like here (Steps 1 till 3).

pilight tries to connect to the lirc socket found in /dev/lircd so make sure it exists or a symlink to the original socket is created to /dev/lircd.
