IR control

Is there a way for the Omnipro to control a device via IR ?
 
Thinking of controlling one of those :

Thanks.
 
 

I believe Haiku Helper accompanied with a Global Cache product could.

An Ocelot will interface via a serial port.
The Pro-link ASCII protocol or the HAI link (numerical ASCII messages) can be used to pass commands to the Omni.

So the Ocelot receives the IR and sends an ASCII message tot eh Omni, which in turn takes an action.
The Omni can also send ASCII to the Ocelot.
So the Omni could tell the Ocelot to send out the appropriate IR code based on conditions in the Omni.

The Ocelot can learn any IR code.

Could you please post an detailed working example for set up and testing.
Thanks in advance.

Agreed. But how do you tell the Omni to send certain ASCII codes? Is there somewhere in PC Access to set that up?

I'm trying to upload the Worthington pdf that details how to do this, but I believe this computer is blocking that operation.
 
The two controllers pass ASCII codes.
In the HAI you define a message with the text "+T000001"
 (The protocol on plain language is essentially this:  "+" (Attention) "T" (Transmit IR) "000001" (IR stored in register 1)) 
 
In the HAI you set your trigger WHEN condition
The action THEN statement looks like this  
When the Ocelot receives the serial command it transmits whatever IR code is stored in register one.
 
 
You can also set the Ocelot to transmit a specific ASCII message when it receives a specific IR code.
You can make use of the built in HAI triggers for this and won't have to define messages or take up message slots.
Then you tell the HAI to take some action when it receives the text message.

This describes the Pro-link protocol

Here is the HAI application directory from their knowledge base for starters.
It describes the protocol.
Page 6-9 is the Ocelot

This is the Ocelot serial protocol.
I have seen a more simplified version of this document.  The information is here, but the formatting is a bit difficult.

Better example:
Mute TV when phone rings.
 
Store mute command in Ocelot IR register 001
Save HAI message with text "+T000001"
 

OK, I think I have the pdf uploaded now.
