Thanks.  Issue though is the distance of cat5 cable to connect the 2 and that it won't be portable (to take to different rooms with different tv monitors).  That was the reason for looking for a wifi solution.   Would be great to find a usb dongle with which I could simulate the mouse with an...

Are you referring to the links I provided?  If not, can you provide the links?   re: machine is embedded Linux, but I don't have access to the operating system to attach a driver for some of the other wifi mouse apps which exist for android or mac os devices.

Just found it...is Embeddd Linux.

Sorry, should have made it more clear.  The links I provided are for wifi mice, not wireless which are typically bluetooth.  Haven't been able to find in what language the DVR software is written.  Will check out Black Box.    thanks.

Please let me know if this is not an appropriate forum for this discussion.   I just installed 8 wirepath cameras and dvr.  All works great.  I can access the images via my laptop, desktop, portable device, etc from anywhere.  I have an output of the dvr connected to a coax cable in the low...

I get that no IR is involved.  I didn't understand how you convert the wifi command to something the Nuvo understands (via IP, not IR).  Since you mentioned the Quantech, I wanted to understand better how you have that wired, what app/software you use (how do you send commands via wifi and have...

There is a serial port in the back. Sounds like a nice solution.  Need some more input though.  I don't think I understand how your solution works.  If I utilize your solution, how do I get the IR codes sent via wifi?  And...since you have 2 (presumably b/c you need for at least 6 zones) how do...

AC- I appreciate that.  That begs the next question:  Can I do what I am describing with the GC?  Devil's advocate:  the serial -ip adapter is $109 from smarthome.  The app is free.  Is it that painful?  What am I missing?   Thanks for the reply.

Newbie to the board.  And...fellow doc.  Seems none of us can stop working (although this is much more pleasurable).     My main project now is to automate our NuVo system.  When we moved into this house 6 yrs ago, it was pre-wired with a NuVo Concerto (not Grand).  It's a 6 zone/6 input system...

Pleasure to be here.     Looking forward to participating and most importantly getting help.   By background, was a computer programmer in college.  Now, everything but and certainly cannot write code.  Still love tech and am a DIY-er.   Main reason for participating is to improve/better my home...
