Cracking stuff! This is exactly what xPL and xAP were designed for.

I can activate my central heating using a Teac remote control, a slimp3,
Comfort, some xAP software and homeseer. All mostly off the shelf equipment
and software.

Exact route is TEAC ir remote-> slimp3-> xAP slimserver
connector-> xAP message-> homeseer xAP conduit -> homeseer
event-> Comfort response-> relay in airing cupboard

Same process can be applied for many different applications

Hi All
Just thought i would mention that i can now control my cbus
lighting using my existing ir hardware and  a standard remote
control...;-)).....To make the magic happen  im using a combination of
software and hardware...
Software...CGATE.....xPL....xPL-UIRT.....xPL-DEVCOM.FirM...xPL
Determinators
Hardware ...pc......USB UIRT.....FirM Serial....FirM....Rx units..........
Using my dvd remote i can brighen / dim  using chan up / down or use the
digits to go to preset levels....Im using FirMs zone receiving to determine
which light to brighten / dim / goto preset....
Quite happy with it ...now just need to somehow connect the USB UIRT /FirM
Serial into my existing Homevision / FirM setup .........
