Hi all,
I was trying to get it work a view days ago, but after hours of trying to reinstall, reboot and changing config files I gave up. Now I want to give it one more try - with your hlep
My Setup
Volumio Information
Volumio Version: 2.853
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B / a01041 - Rev. 1.1
DAC: HiFiBerry DAC+
The IR Receiver is connected to GND, +3,3V and GPIO25
What already works
If I run the command sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 I can see that, that the Pi already reacts to singals from my Remote.
Here is an example ot the output:
volumio@volumio:~$ sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
[sudo] password for volumio:
space 16777215
space 404552
pulse 8992
space 4575
pulse 540
space 637
pulse 526
...
What does not work yet
Volumio does not react to signals from my Remote.
What I have already tried
Restarting Raspberry/Volumio.
Uninstall Plugin, Reboot, Install Plugin, Reboot
Changed the Config for the remote with one from sourceforge. Gave it a try because it helped here: Help with IR Remote Controller
name Apple_A1156 —> name irremote (also gave it a try without this modification)
copied the begin codes from the origninal volumio config to replace this part in the sourcefoge file
So here is the lircd.conf file I try to use:
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.1(iguanaIR) on Fri Mar 30 19:20:40 2007
#
# contributed by Matthias Urlichs <matthias|urlichs.de>
#
# brand: Apple
# model no. of remote control: A1156
# devices being controlled by this remote: new (late 2006) MacBook
#
# This config files are for non-Apple receivers only.
# Use the lircd.conf.macmini file when you are using the Apple receiver.

Why does volumio replace the modifed config afer a reboot?
In case this is because volumio thinks the config is invalid - @schliden would you share your config file here?
So, if I understand, there two kind of Apple A1156, right?
So we need to name it in the list so that to be able to recognize it.
Apple Remote A1156
Apple Remote A1156 (new) ?
Or what?
For me it looks like there are (at least) two kinds of A1156.
Since I bought my remote second hand, I can’t tell you if I’ve got an older or newer version.
Hi!
Im having very similar issues with the Apple Remote A1294.
I have the receiver on 3,3v - ground - GPIO25
Reinstalled the Plugin and restarted the pi several times.
Like user oha I get feedback in sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 when i press buttons on the remote but there is no reaction in volumio whatsoever.
Do you have any hints? Did I miss something?
I am using Apple remote A1156 with a TSOP38x IR receiver, same connections as you have.
My only suggestion is to double check the installed/configured lircd.conf and lircrc files which should be somewhere like: /data/plugins/accessory/ir_controller/configurations/Apple Remote A1294/’
Make sure that the begin code names in lircd match the button names in lircrc etc.
It might not hurt to re-select the correct plugin via the web interface:
From volumio web interface: Plugins > Installed Plugins > IR Remote Controller > Settings > Select “Apple Remote A1294” and save.
Restart Volumio
