Extended X10 via IR & Pronto

["Dean Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

A while ago I posted asking for info re. sending extended X10 codes via IR.
Well Kwong Li from Laser generously sent me an example of their upgraded
firmware for the IR543AH which apparently they had been unable to get
working.

I installed the new firmware (a PIC replacement) on Saturday which was
relatively painless and after a couple of hours of googling, reading and
experimention I managed to format the IR codes for my Pronto correctly and
successfully sent extended codes to my LD11s for absolute dimming and
Instant On. (Extended code 49, data 0-63) :-). I'm currently unaware of any
other extended codes to test but the firmware allows for any command or
data value from 0 to 255 to be sent via IR and onto X10.

I currently have a spreadsheet to generate the required IR code strings for
pasting into ProntoEdit but will hopefully produce a small application to
do the same job a little less clumsily. I've forwarded the finer details
including some examples onto Laser so hopefully it should be available
shortly.....

Regards

Dean
