Well, given your goal and the output above I cannot see that you need 
lirc at all. You should be able to get the events from /dev/input/event3 
after disabling and stopping lircd.service and lircd.socket.

One catch is the device name, which probably isn't stable after a 
reboot. But you should be able to use one of the links in 
/dev/input/by-id instead which is stable.


Cheers!
