For this to work, lirc needs to be setup with some commands to simulate. Within your lircd.conf you need a remote similar to this:
remote.conf.txt
You must have an lircrc file setup that looks similar to the following file (note the file shouldn't have any extension, github wouldn't allow me to upload without a file extension). This file should be located in /etc/lirc/
lircrc.txt
This post by the raspberry pi foundation does a great job explaining how to setup lirc to support simulated commands.
Issues I had while coming up with this solution...
sudo irexec -d /etc/lirc/lircrc
irsend SIMULATE "00000000000005d0 00 <COMMAND> <REMOTE>
