I
would think this is pretty impossible Eamon... in effect, you need all your
applicances to be "status capable"
I
have
a workaround using Girder and a UIRT, but it's not complee yet, so I can't
vouch
for it's long term reliability:
Basically, you mask off the IR RX on the appliances, and relay
everything
through the Girder PC, so that *ALL* IR commands come from the PC,
therefore, it
can keep a "state" diagram. (unless you lose power, of
course)

I've been setting up some scehdules etc on HV
for IR control of my vcr, and now that I have a webserver running hv
webserver, I am adding some macros etc to control this over the net. The
only thing is reliabiltiy, I am happy enough with X10 reliability, it works
99.9% of the time, so am willing to overlook not being able to get
confirmation of the actions, but IR is a little less reliable in my opinion
when it comes to setting your vcr to record a specific
channel.
Does anyone have any sloutions to confirming
wether or not your vcr, or any IR equipmetn has been set up the way you
programmed it ?
