Re: IR Control of cbus???

["Ben McCormack" <yahoogroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dean - I would also be interested in an 8 button Neo if the price was

I will also look at passing the IR into Comfrot and doing the logic/control
of cbus from there.

This IR thing seems to be a weakness of cbus. I would have thought IR
control would have been much easier

Ben
