The IRA-3 from Home Electronics is an inexpensive IR receiver that connects to a PC's serial port. The attached file contains a Module-based driver for the IRA-3. If used with the IR Remote Control module, the combination allows you to control almost anything in Premise using an inexpensive IR remote control.
The IRA driver displays received IR signals as unique 12 character strings (i.e. "FF11FC99FF07"). It also polls the IRA every minute to ensure it is present and operational. If the IRA fails to respond to a poll, the driver's CommunicationFailure flag is set.
Being a Module, all of its source code is accessible and permits you to modify its behaviour. For example, if you wish to reduce the polling period from one minute to 30 seconds, navigate to: Modules > HomeElectronics > Classes > IRA > CreatePollingTimer and change the "60" to "30" in system.addTimer 60, "this.PollIRA", 1, this.GetPollingTimerName
