I decided to add another IRTrans unit to for another room in my house. I have read through the information here but cannot seem to put everything together. Here are my questions
1. I am using two ethernet devices. When setting up zone support how do I specify which unit is which. I can see that I have the option to specify which bus the learning takes place on. I assume this is bus 0 on my setup. When I want to setup a command to turn off my sat reciever on the first floor but not on the second floor (they are both the same models) I need to specify some sort of zone within Homeseer. Which numbers should I use. Do I want to make everything in one room Zone 1 and everything in the other Zone 2?
2. How should I handle commands that pertain to the whole house like lighting and homeseer events. Should this be on a different zone? How will the modules understand that this seperate zone should repeat to all other zones?
3. Is there a way to have Homeseer only control the output commands to each device? I don't need traditional IR repeating rather I just want Homeseer to control shutting of my A/V equipment in each room. I also need the shutoff of devices to work by room rather than globally.
Is there setup strategies anyone can recommend? Most of my use for IRTrans is to control lighting and Homeseer events. I use A/V control only to turn on and off devices.
