RE: FirM

["Shane Harrison" <shane.harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately no family in Melbourne..... :-(

The data from LIRC is simply an ASCII string with a remote type, button
type and zone number, all obtained via a UDP port.

I am controlling my Linet lighting system using FirM, only it is via Mr
House.  A little ASCII art should confuse the picture nicely :-)

UDP                    UDP                  Linet
net
FIRM <==> LIRC SERVER <===> MR HOUSE SERVER <===> LINET
CONTROLLER
<=======> DIMMERS

Update on 3 zone amplifier.  Found the problem with the volume and this
helped the hum problem as well.  Need to find some decent heatsinks to
fully test - and time of course.  I was testing late at night when
everyone went to sleep - unfortunately automated volume setting testing
isn't very compatible with that - or so I found out :-)

Cheers
Shane
