To allow Home Assistant to talk to your IR receiver, you need to first make sure you have the correct dependencies installed:
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install lirc python3-lirc
$ sudo apt-get install lirc liblircclient-dev
```
Check the version of `python3-lirc`:
```bash
$ apt-cache show python3-lirc
Package: python3-lirc
Source: python-lirc
Version: 1.2.1-2
```
If you do not have this version or you are running in a virtual environment, then your system will completely freeze with this component active. You will need to build `python3-lirc` from source. The version of this library in the Python package index is also broken, so the typical dependency system cannot fix this. Build it from source like this:
As regular user:
```bash
sudo apt-get install liblircclient-dev
```
As the user that runs hass:
```bash
(hass) $ git clone https://github.com/tompreston/python-lirc.git
(hass) $ cd python-lirc
(hass) $ make py3
(hass) $ python3 setup.py build
(hass) $ python3 setup.py install
```
If you are not using a virtual environment setup, then you'll need a `sudo` before the install line above.

If you are configuring on a Raspberry Pi, there are excellent instructions with GPIO schematics and driver configurations [here](http://alexba.in/blog/2013/01/06/setting-up-lirc-on-the-raspberrypi/). Consider following these.
