LIRC interface to receive signals from a infrared remote control.
This sensor will momentarily set state to various values as defined
in the .lintrc file which can be interpreted in home-assistant to
trigger various actions.
Sending signals to other IR receivers can be accomplished with the
shell_command component and the irsend command for now.
