I'm no expert but i did the same thing yesterday. It took a while to figure
out. But since i'm no expert i can't tell you what to do since i did so
many things that i don't know what worked in the end =)

But the first thing i should suggest you to do is to install ir-keytable.
When you run ir-keytable you can see what inputdevices you have, and on
what event they are. With ir-keytable -t you get something that is like
irw, but for devinput. So you should see key press output when you press
the remote. And if this dont work it is the first step before you try to
connect devinput with lirc.

This is how the first part of my hardware.conf looks like:

REMOTE="Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX)"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event`grep -A3 Phys="i2c" /proc/bus/input/devices
| grep "Handlers=" | sed 's/.*event\([0-9]\+\)/\1/'`"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="devinput/lircd.conf.devinput"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

The strange line on REMOTE_DEVICE is because my remote change event number
when i reboot. With that line the number is figured out on runtime (found
that solution on internet)

I hope this could be a start for you.
