Hi Dave

I don't think my setup matches what you are trying to do but I use a
"usb u=
irt" IR unit with homeseer.=20
=20
Setup:

I use the Pronto RU980 to control lights (xap / c-bus gateway) and a dvd
pl=
ayer (IR control) via homeseer but I send rf from the pronto  which is
rece=
ived by a w800rf32ae receiver in homeseer. I use an "usb uirt"
connected to=
homeseer to send stored IR signals to the dvd player.=20=20=20=20

Regards
Mark Kenny

Subject: [xap_automation] Infra red interface



Hi All,



I am in the process of waiting for a Philips Pronto 980 to arrive and whi=
lst I am waiting I was looking around the find a suitable Infra Red to xAP
=
interface.



I see the Red Rat but the price is too high once I add shipping.



I have thought about doing a simple Infra Red to USB interface as I only =
need one way so that I can trigger Homeseer. I think the Pronto can output
=
RC5 code which makes decoding a snip on the AVR as there is loads of
sample=
s around to do this.



Has anyone done a project like this before?



Dave...
