OK. I got the lighting to work with ML and HS2.0. Now I am looking at setting up the home theater control with a GC100. After reading the manuals and visiting the forum, I have the following questions that need your help, PLEASE:
1. You can call me dumb but at least help me understand how to setup my GC100 in HS 2.0. The configuration screen was simple enoug, although I do not understand what the serial redirection checkboxes are for or do? The zones is another story. I understand the concept of a zone (I want to setup each IR port as a zone and have a split emitter from each zone control two different devices for a total of 6 devices).
I also understand that the GC connector would correspond to each emitter port like 1-3. But, I do not understand the module number. The example in the help screen is confusing. it says "Each set of 3 infrared emitters are a part of a module. Enter the module number for the IR emitter you wish to use" but looking at the picture it has module # 4 and 5 for two GC100s. If each 3 are part of a module, does it mean that the second example has 5 times 3 (5 x 3) for fifteen emitters? I have the base gc100 model. what module would I use for the emitters? Module 1 since there are only 3 ports?
2. From what I have seen so far, it seems that the only option I have is to get the gc-ire to learn my remote control codes. Is this correct? If I go on remotecentral, I see lots of codes for different equipment that people have put into a database. Can I just get these codes and paste them into HS?
3. I have downloaded the Mlobby GC100 plugin as well. Can someone tell me what would be the need for the HS plugin? What can I do with one that I can not do with the other?
Thanks in advance for your help.
