If you need to do that every time you boot, you can simplify things by putting that into /etc/rc.d/rc.local and making sure that rc-local.service is enabled. My understanding is that systemctl automatically enables it if the file exists, but it never hurts to make sure.

Good point, because it is likely that, if this is in fact the OP's issue, he will have to do it at every boot. I ended up adding an ExecStartPre line to the unit file for the service that is using LIRC to accomplish the same thing, since it was a locally-created unit file anyway.
