The wall controllers in each room (only 6 zones though) have IR
receive and transmit. I used some opto isolators and 'tapped' into
the IR channels - so that HV is now part of the IR network and can
receive and send IR to any of these supported rooms.

kit is. This room also has a wall controller with the IR receive. In
fact, this is how I control my Sky+ box which is in Node0.
