Recommendations for using the Irdroid USB Infrared transceiver in Linux (All versions)

  • Configure Lirc with lowest (loglevel = ERROR) : e.g. log only errors, this will reduce the numbers of messages in the logs/Systemd/Syslog, and improve performace

    • Edit /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf
    • Add loglevel = ERROR

  • Configure the lircd systemd service (if you are using systemd), to restart automatically on failure, as otherwise lircd will exit and it will not restart again

    • [Service]
    • Restart=on-failure
    • RestartSec=1s

  • If you are not using the Systemd journaling service , disable it

  • Disable services such as apt-daily, as on some lower performace systems this may cause reduction in performance and issues with lircd ( sudo systemctl mask apt-daily.service )
