Configuration

• Copy config.default.ini to config.ini and change the defaults.
• If you use IR:
  • Make sure your remote .conf files are in /etc/lirc and button presses are detected fine in lirc.
  • Copy libcrc.default to libcrc and specify the buttons you want to receive on MQTT. You might need to change the remote to linux-input-layer for this to work.
