RE: IRM +FirM Interfacing Update

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

Hoooray!
Three times...
But, of course, nothing is perfect, so to get SWMBO approval i would like
to
put transmitters and receivers high on the wall in a box behind a
blanking
plate. I would then drill a hole in a plate for IR LEDs.
Is something like that possible?
And if it is, will it fit into a single gang box?
And will single CAT5 cable be enough for both Tx and Rx?
Electrician put the cables throug the strategic points last week, and
he's
not finished yet. I left enough length curled and hidden for the future
IR
solution, but if I can do it the way I plan, I might order
transmitters/receivers and ask electrician to put boxes in place and
cables
through wall to each box.

Dan's idea of controling lights via IR is interesting.
But where transmitters must be placed relative to IR receiver on light
switch? Can they be on the same wall? That means that IR signal will have
to
bounce off the walls. Is that possible and will they bounce off any wall
and
furniture, or just some (e.g. wall carpets).

Cheers
Nik

  Thats correct Nik
                             
Hopefully when finished (the pc interface)  a
pc
  user can have a multizone rx tx /rx using Automat8it software with
Dans
  plugins and my pc interface + FirM .
