Fw: Programmable IR receiver ?

Already used that method for the xbox itself - but xbmc is no more -
long
gone.

The tricky part with using this X3IR is getting 3.3v from Comfort.




I'm sure there are other solutions, but could you add a relay to the
xbox kit? The xbox kit triggers a voltage, that voltage pulls in a
relay and comfort is wired across the relay contacts to give you the
dry (i.e. non-voltage) input.

I presume you could also feed a 5v (or whatever comfort needs)
directly from the xbox kit to fool comfort into thinking it had
received a closed contact. Do confirm before trying this though, as
it's only a guess :-)

HTH,

Tim.
