Hey,
A little project of mine is to use Flirc USB as generic IR receiver instead of a keyboard emulator. The ideal situation would be something that grabs received codes and fire them onto a MQTT topic that would later be handled by Node RED.
Until recently, I though I would have to record a bunch of keys to essentially map well known IR codes to corresponding keyboard keys such that I could just get the event. However, recently I noticed that irtools decode -l was doing almost exactly what I wanted already !
I could build a wrapper that launches irtools decode -l and try to parse its output but I'd much rather have that functionality built in a library.
Do you plan to have that happen eventually ?
Thanks,
