RE: IR7243AH's - SUCCESS not the CCFs

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

 

Again that's strange as mine quite happily sits on the TV - in fact it works happily anywhere that I put it. I'd have thought more likely is a source of IR interference ... strong sunlight or fluorescent light are two possible causes.

 

Ultimately I have found that the All Housecode IR receivers have been 100% reliable for me.

 

The test X10 codes that I sent over worked fine however I found that for absolute reliability I needed a 0.1 second delay between sending house/unit codes and command (ON/OFF/DIM/BRIGHT) - this ties in pretty much with what I found when I first tried these devices.

I have found the problem with my IR7243AH not responding t ON/OFF/DIM-/+ commands...

 

It does not like t be placed near TV (metal??) and/or RF cables, esp Sky Digital.

 

I found this out last night. I went upstairs to download files (Thanks again Phil/Mark!!!) to prono via PC, and I took the IR7243AH with me. It worked with my original CCFs 100%....

 

mmm..

 

So I took it down stairs again, placed on the floor, plugged in to same socket as I was experiencing problems, and it worked 100%....

 

mmm...

 

I placed back on TV stand, it then stopped resonding t ON/OFF/DIM-/+ commands via IR, buttons on top work fine. So I unplugged TV and Digi box from mains, still not working.

 

mmm..

 

Unplugged Sky cable/UHF Ariel/and bedroom feed and it worked 50% of the time.

If I move it away from TV, it works 100% of time.

 

Why is this IR device sensitive t Sky/RF cables?? My sky is cable is CT100, but UHF is cheap brown stuff.

 

Can the others who had problems try moving their IR7243AH, and someone who does not have a problem move it near their unplugged TV and/or RF cables??? This may explain why some people have managed t get this device t work in some mains sockets and not others??

Has anyone had any luck with their IR7243AH's using the CCF that Mark put up
on the files area for me?
