LIRC in Hass.io

I just made the switch from HA (all-in-one installer) to Hass.io and so far I am loving it. I am on version 0.55.2 on Raspberry Pi 3. And I am still Noob, albeit a very passionate one :slight_smile:

I would like to be able to control IR devices (Projector, Receiver, AC…) with Home Assistant. With Rasbian and the HA all-in-one installer I achieved this through LIRC (tutorial: https://home-assistant.io/components/lirc/) and using the command line component like so (excerpt from my configuration.yaml)

Projector Switch

  • platform: command_line
    switches:
    projector:
    command_on: “irsend SEND_ONCE W1070 KEY_POWER”
    command_off: “irsend SEND_ONCE W1070 OFF; sleep 1; irsend SEND_ONCE W1070 OFF”

But in Hass. io I have no clue how to achieve the same. I think LIRC would have to be installed as a Add-on? How about the command line component, is it still available on Hass. io? Or are there alternative ways of achieving my goal? If it can’t be done, I will go back to the HA on Rasbian as IR automations are an essential part of my system.

I want to thank you guys in advance for any help regarding this issue!

I guess I will stick with the All-In-One Installer for the time being until Lirc has been added…

For what is it worth @Philip_Buechler - I’m somewhat in the same boat. Gone quite some way down the road to using Hass.io - but now no lirc installed.
