I
take
your point
But
I
use
TiVo,
$ky, On-Dig, DVD, VHS, CD, Tuner, Preamp, TV x2, Blinds
You
just learn into HomeVision what you need for day to day
operation
Using
Pronto for the set-ups, etc
As
for
house codes I just fire off macros
I
couldn’t contemplate access to each lamp from one remote life is just
too
short

Probably
he is ruling out HomeVision for the same reason that I was thinking ... the
255 IR command storage limit.
With
a
pile of remotes learned (plus all husecodes X10) my pronto is well over the
255 learned commands limit and I'm having to work out what I should "prune"
to
fit it all in to the HomeVision.

Why
rule out HomeVision
If
you
send IR codes to HomeVision and hen get HomeVision to issue the relevant IR
codes to the units at least you know and HomeVision does the state of each
unit
Getting
HomeVision to fire off IR can then be activated by X10/Serial/input
changes/
and IR from Pronto
It
is
then very easy to write a VB programme to DDE to HomeVision so that you an
have every remote control available on your
desktop

[ukha_d] PC IR emitters + software
Hi
all,
First
time poster, I'm a bit nervous!
I'm looking for IR advice,
specifically I'm intending to replace my two
Prontos with a
Heath
Robinson ePods, Windows 2000+ Terminal Server, Wireless
LAN
solution which I'll probably not have time to build!
My
Pronto
replaces about 15 remotes, and I've ruled out using my Homevision
to do the IR. I've seen a lot of PC->IR solutions
that
use the Parallel
port, but I'd prefer to use Serial (or
something
else that'll travel long
distance), as I can't use PowerMid
pyramids to relay the signal (long story
involving controlling
my
neighbours TV!)
Anyone have any hardware and or software
advice or testimonials? NB I was
planning on using the
PC
to send the IR, not the ePods.
Thanks,
-
Phil
