Re: Which IR xmitter for HomeSeer?

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

An Ocelot and a SECU16-IR would certainly do the job for you, but might be
a
tad expensive if that's *all* you want to do with it!

an Ocelot is about £180, and a SECU16-IR is about another £80

Several cheaper alternatives are available, but bear in mind that on the
Win2K platform, you "can't" (officially) use any of the
parallel-port IR
devices. (There are some 3rd party device drivers available that will let
you do it...)

Do you need the 4 - 5 emitters to be seperate zones, or will you just blat
the same IR out of all the emitters simultaneously?
