RE: IR & the Silent Gliss 5100

["Paul S. Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Claude,



Volt free contacts = simple switch



I recently bought one of the 'dawn to dusk' tracks. This is the basic
version but AFAIK it is the only one to support discreet open and close
contacts (via a not-well-documented feature of one of the RJ11
connectors). This means that you can attach two switches - one to open
and one to close (they DON'T toggle), in addition to the toggle switch
(press once - opens, press again - closes).



Now so far, this doesn't help you much but if you use a HA controller
such as HomeVision, Ocelot or one of the other many controllers, you
can
use one or two of the outputs to replace the switches I mentioned. This
gives you IR control (via a simple bit of programming of the
controller)
and other control of the curtains i.e. based on sunrise/sunset or time
program etc.



Hope this makes sense? It's been a long day!





Paul.

Hi,

Im looking at getting some electric curtains (the Silent Gliss 5100)
and
spoke to a guy from tlc-direct about whether they could be directly
wired in to an IR network as opposed to using an IR emitter.

What he said is that it is possible though the IR receiver needs to
support a volt free contact. Anyone know exactly what this means? Will
this be compatible with the Xantech stuff?

Any help would be much appreciated....

Thanks
Claude
