I am trying to add IR receivers in several rooms in my home that will integrate with Homeseer. My goal is to control multiple Homeseer devices from IR remotes in different rooms. I tried the USB-UIRT, but it is only possible to have one unit in the system. The rooms are spread out fairly far apart and I was hoping the Itach products would be my solution.
I was hoping that the IP2IR would work well for each room, but it turns out they dont support IR receivers. The IP2IR has a "sensor" input, but that is for the contact closure, etc, and not IR receivers.
I was told, however, that I could add the IR receiver (GC-RG1) to the IR extender (GC-IRE) which then outputs on a serial plug. I see that you have successfully integrated this solution with the GC-100. The problem for me is that I cant have long serial runs because the rooms are too far apart. I already have cat5 going to the rooms. Instead of using the GC-100, I was wondering if their is any support for the IP2SL which would convert the serial to IP over the cat 5.
This would look like this:
GC-RG1 --> GC-IRE --> IP2SL --> Network --> Homeseer
I would think the IP2SL would be similar to the IP2IR.
