Re: Multizone IR Control

["Frank Mc Alinden" <armagh@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Haydn

Im one of the guys currently working on a 8 Zone ir transmitter. What i
have
done is ran a 4 core cable to each room for  each reciever but a 6
core is
better . I ran a figure 8 (speaker wire ) to each room for ir transmitter
.
Since talking to several guys on the list ,they do it differently and
better. They are going to use seperate ir transmitters for each ir
controlled device in a room , more flexible. I take it you are going to
use
a pc to control your ha? Why do you say Xantech is over the top?
