Title: IR controller for AV equipment
Post by: lonewolf on February 12, 2015, 04:30:19 am

Is there an IR sensor that work with Almond+ and either with programmable IR (from existing remote control) or support a large database of remote controls that can be used to control home appliances like TV, Air-conditioner, etc? The sensor should work 360 degrees so you can leave it in living room and work with everything that supports IR remote control within the room.

Sorry, split your post, as it was a new question.

The answer is yes, well, sort of - http://www.remotec.com.hk/zaspx/product_content.aspx?aboutno=36&subaboutno=30&main=f and http://www.remotec.com.hk/zaspx/product_content.aspx?aboutno=36&subaboutno=45&main=f
However, we don't support either as yet.
We'll be adding support for the ZXT-120, as it emulates a thermostat, but I'm not sure how the ZXT-300 works.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I hope you will support such feature, and when you do please let me or us know because I will am interested to get one.

Well, we already have samples of the ZXT-120, it technically already works to a degree, but we need to add the ability to chose between AC brands/models or the IR end.
The ZXT-300 is a lot more complex, but not impossible in the future.
