The asccociation process of the iMON 2.4G DT/LT remote.
Due to the design (could probably have been better), an application needs to have an open connection to the lirc-daemon*, to allow the association process to start.
To associate the remote you need 2 terminals.

# file=`find /sys -name associate_remote`   |
                                            |# irw
# echo > $file                              |

                    Then you hold down a button on the remote. And soon the
                    "irw" process should start to spit out keycodes.
                    Just stop (Ctrl-C) the "irw" process,
                    and you should be good to go.
