Re: Harmony remote owners - IR to HV etc?

["noughtomate" <balraj_jassal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul - BTW... When you say you have a IR netwrok in place, do you=20
mean a hardwired one ?

I have a Xantech touchscreen and IR system which I haven't had the=20
oppurtunity to completly set up as yet. (I need sign off from SWMBO!)

If you have something similar, it would be interesting to hear if=20
you can get the Harmony 895 RF->IR blaster to talk to the rest of=20
your IR network. i.e. instead of connecting an IR emitter to a=20
device, connect it directly to your IR network using a jack=20

This would imply you could control the complete wired IR network=20
using RF.

I think the Xantech IR system uses 12v, whilst the Ocelot one uses=20
5v. I'm not sure which one you use (Homevision by any chance?) and=20
whether it would be compatible with the Logitech RF->IR blaster but=20
it's worth a go.

Cheers
