There is a review here http://www.audioreview.com/Remote,Controls/Niles,Audio,Corporation,IRP6+,Remote,Control,IR,Repeater,System/PRD_128781_2770crx.aspx
the price doesn't seem too unreasonable at $120 for the 6 zone
one.
It does seem to suggest you can have
multiple sensors per zone by daisy chaining them. Although not sure of the
limits.

Distribution Was Gurus brain required...
Mark,
had a quick look and noticed 2
things...
1. There are no prices (which worries me :(
)
2. I looks like you only get 6 inputs and 10
outputs.. I'm thinking
more along the lines of 8 inputs and 64
outputs (8
per zone)
still looking though...
