So here is what I learned from all this....

Issue 1 - Was caused by the fact that IRsend was called at first boot - nothing wrong with that, but what I didn't know was that IRsend disables IR receive.
The solution was as simple as adding one more line to that section of code as follows.....

 if (newcodeRX == 1 || lightrequest == 1) {
    irsend.sendNEC(INcode, 32);
    newcodeRX = 0;
    lightrequest = 0; 
    irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
   }

This re-enables the receiver and then all is working as expected!

As for the second issue......Well, I'll just post the code for anyone interested.....

 if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
    IRin = results.value,HEX;
    
  if (IRin == 0xFFA25D) {
    lights = 1;
    Serial.print("Lights ON... ");
  }

  if (IRin == 0xFFE21D) {
    lights = 0;
    Serial.print("Lights OFF... ");
  }

  if (lights != last_lights) {
    saveState(10, lights);
    send(msgLights.set(lights));
    last_lights = lights;
    }

     irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value

  }

It's always soooooo easy when you know how! ;)

Onwards and upwards! :)
