Hello there,
I have successfully installed LIRC on raspbian stretch and can manually send IR-commands over the console with:
irsend SEND_ONCE ledband_werkstatt KEY_POWER
The binding is configured like this:
Bridge lirc:bridge:local [ host=“0.0.0.0”, port=“8700” ] {
Thing remote ledband_werkstatt [ remote=“ledband_werkstatt” ]
}
The lirc_options.conf file has the same address and port, so it should work. In the logfile of openhab I see this message:

I have the same issue with latest snapshot, did you solve your problem?

I had the same issue on Stretch, after following this guide to setup lirc.
It turns out that even though the option “–listen” is included in LIRCD_ARGS in configuration, the service was not really listening on any port. I confirmed using:
sudo netstat -peanut | grep 8765
So I edited /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf and edited/commented out:
listen = 0.0.0.0:8765
(which is what I had in my LIRC bridge configuration)
After restarting lirc (sudo /etc/init.d/lircd restart) netstat showed the service bound on 8765.
So, after also restarting openHAB, the bridge went online!
//edit: @HALLO01, @Mr_Luz
I just noticed that the default behavior of the forum is to “track” threads instead of “watch”, which means you guys won’t be notified if I don’t reply to you specifically, hence the edit. Although a long time has gone by, I’m sure you’ve found the solution by now! This is more for anyone googling the same problem.
