Re: IR to xap device.

[James <james@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
The only options for IR to xAP that I know of are all based around PC
software.
The devices being SLIMP3,Squeezebox,RedRat and I'm pretty sure the
usbUIRT. Also it should be possible to get the IR data from any HomeSeer
IR device sent over xAP. Also Girder supports xAP so you could go that
route too.

I like the idea of the tini based xAP Display. A java based solution has
got to be easier to understand than the C of the rabbit units!
