Re: Re: small/cost effective amp needed

Paul,

I would be interested to see what the resul;t is if you do manage to
inject
IR into the system and how you did it. I have managed to integrate my
keypads into my HA system by taking one of the IR outputs and feeding
it
into a IR splitter/amplifier. I then have the outputs fed to HV, so I
can
control HV via IR from any room with a keypad.

Let me know how you get on.

Regards,
Eamon
