Why F18?  It will no longer be supported in (about) a month.

Well, since you are using devinput, I would suggest
simplifying your life, and creating something like the
following in /etc/systemd/system/lirc.service (replace
the --device= parm with whatever your ir receiver
shows up as under the by-id directory).  Test using
irw (after restarting the various daemons).




[Unit]
Description=LIRC Infrared Signal Decoder
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircd --driver=devinput
--device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-_BB+_Dongle_e.d__FEOM-event-if00 -n

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
