> To all:
> In all our new installations and some existing homes, we run a Cat 5 t
> every TV point along with RG6. We use the Cat 5, fitted off as a RJ45
> (yellow surround t  colour code) for an RJ45 plug and socket in which
we
can
> attach a Xantech emitter and/or receiver.
> With a recent project (completed), the client wanted t  update his
KP01
with
> a KP02 after he purchased a Pronto. In the Living room, he could not
bounce
> the signals t  the Kitchen Keypad, so had to actually GET UP AND WALK
A
> METRE so he could point it at the KP02 LED. This was far t o much of a
> strain, so he asked if we could integrate the existing IR with the
Comfort
> IR inputs/outputs capabilities.
> Luckily, everything goes back to a central cupboard, so after much
support
> from Chiu and the superb talents of my programmer, we came up with the
> theory that if we integrated an emitter int  the existing IR Network
system
> and pointed it at a cut down KP02 PCB with just the receiving LED,
connected
> to Comfort, it should work.
> We did it and it did it. So, if anyone wants a blow by blow of how we
helped
> our client int  the couch potat  club, send an email t
> ian.clarke@xxxxxxx.
> The system works like a dream and he can now operate absolutely
everything
> via his Pronto wherever there is a IR receiver, regardless whether it
is a
> command t  the CE equipment or controlled by Comfort.
> Now of course he spends most of his time walking around the house
showing
it
> off t  his neighbours. However, we don't mind so much as long as it
promotes
> the products and our services.
