> I just finished adding support in ACE that allows for IR codes to be
sent

the
ir

the
IR

to

This

>
> This feature can also be used directly from ACE Server.  So, if you
use
ACE
> Server to monitor Comfort events, you can program an action in ACE to
> transmit ANY IR code you have in ANY IFR file.  Or, you can send any
ir
code
> from a Comfort response by using virtual outputs.  For example, you
can
have
> virtual output 100 trigger IR commands by configuring ACE to watch for
> virtual output changes.  VO 100 set to 1 could send TV ON, VO 100 set
to 2
> could send TV OFF, VO 100 set to 3 could send VOL DOWN, etc.  This
gives
you
> access to ANY ir code from within a Comfort program by using action
code
> 136.  For the above 3 examples, the actions codes would be:
> 136,100,1  (TV ON)
> 136,100,2  (TV OFF)
> 136,100,3  (VOL DOWN)
>
> This requires ACE Server version 3.7.9 or later, which will be
available
for
> download soon.
>
> In order for this feature to work, you need to have room for the IR
code
in
> Comfort memory.  This means you can't have more than 31 codes loaded
in
> Comfort, and those 31 codes (or less) can not use all of the memory
> allocated to IR codes (should leave about 50 bytes free).  If you have
you
r
> Comfort IR memory full, simply remove 1 or 2 IR codes so there is room
for
> the uploaded code.

consulted

the

me along so the
