I have this in /etc/rc.local:

hdhomerun_config <device number> set /ir/target "192.168.1.111:5000 no_clear"

lircd -H udp -d 5000


I think there are other ways to do it but this works and is easy to
do.  You will have to look up what the first command does, I don't
remember.  I got my device number from "hdhomerun_config discover".
