I currently run Homeseer 2.0 on a server in my basement mostly for controlling lighting via Insteon and some X-10. Right now if i want to control lights from my IR remote, i have an x-10 controller (IR 543) in my living room one floor above the server that will receive the IR - and send an x-10 signal on the powerline which the homeseer server sees and as a result triggers an event to control the lighting. this is ok but is not 100% reliable, and i am limited to 16 codes (one house code only).
i was thinking about getting a globalCache device, but i want to make sure i am understanding how it works. If I understand correctly, i would put the global cache device in my living room and connect it to my ethernet network. it would receive the IR commands instead of the IR543, and homeseer (in the basement) would receive that IR over the ethernet network and run the appropriate event. is that how it works?
