RE: IR with Comfort

Why not just make you own IR transmitters/receivers as per Nigel's design
using Ian's PCB's it really is almost too easy to be true and costs very
little.

Hi All

I'm having the new IR module (IRM01) installed with my Comfort system - it
will sit in my A/V cabinet to control the VCR, etc.

So - is there any way to have a small module wired up to comfort to allow
it
to receive controls from a 2nd handset in the bedroom, in order to relay
them to the a/v cabinet downstairs ? i don't know of any receivers for
comfort other than what is in my KP02 IR enabled keypad.

The reason I dont use a generic IR transmitter is the VCR upstairs is the
same make as the one downstairs - both Tosh. So if I were to press the
power
switch for the one upstairs, a generic "send it all" type
transitter would
also send the power signal to the one downstairs...(!)
