there are a couple things i would like to accomplish:
1) i would like to be able to send an ir signal from my remote in my living room and have that ir converted into IP traffic and sent over my home network to my homeseer server in the basement. which woudl then trigger an event like turning on a light or something.
2) i woudl like to be able to press a button on my insteon keypadlinc which would trigger an event in homeseer that woudl send the IR code up to my livign room through the irtrans and out through an attached ir blaster to turn on my a/v receiver (or adjust the volume or whatever).
whit that said, last week i purchased a globalcache GC-100 device assuming that it woudl just just what i described. although the device is capable of doing this (with the GC-IRE and an ir sensor), the homeseer plugin for he gc-100 will only let you SEND ir signals through the gc-100, it won't let you receive ir signals from it.
so unless i can figure somethgin else out i am thinking of returnign the gc-100 and going with the irTrans ethernet device.
so will the irTrans Ethernet and the irTrans plugin let me do what i described above?
and is the ir sensor that is built into the irTrans Ethernet plasma-proof (i have a 50" plasma tv in the room where i will be using it. and i not is there any way to plug in an external ir sensor?
