Would NetRemote go anyway to solving this? See http://www.webwingnut.org/NetRemote/.
Pronto screens with feedback and the ability to embed web pages (the author is working on that
one).

Take a look at my response to the Pronto TS-3000 item on the news-page, and then answer the following question:

 

How difficult would it be to design a small device which utlised an 802.11 CF card together with some clever hardware and software for the purpose of distributing IR over 802.11 networks?

 

I know that for me the RF-IR device which works with the Pronto Pro, and Marantz remotes is OK, but I know that Mark McCall has tried and given up with one. Yes it is possible to wire a house for IR, but it isn’t that easy to retro-fit, AND you have to point the remote at a sensor. I’m really enjoying the “Crestron-like” freedom I get from not having to point my remote in a particular direction in any room in the house when I want to change lighting scenes, sky channels etc.

 

The idea of having a single device which can act as an IR remote, control every single individual light in the house, display output from security cameras, and do that from anywhere inside a 2 acre plot really appeals to me, and the only thing that is missing at the moment is the IR bit.

 

Now that is HA that I really would be happy to implement, because:

 

It is wireless

It can be relatively easily retro-fitted

It has a cool wow factor

A single device controls EVERYTHING
