it be to...
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
