Hi,

Thanks for that. I understand what you are saying. That sounds like another
way it could be done. I have the name and number for the guy at Silent
Gliss so I might give him a call anyway.

Cheers

  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
