i currently have homeseer 2 running on a server in my basement and it works well with a variety of insteon (and some x-10) devices.
however i would like to be able to control my devices from my pronto universal remote (IR) upstairs in my living room. so i was thinking about globalcache.
here is my assumption about how it would work - please tell me if I am correct
I am thinking that i Install the globalcache plugin on my homeseer server in my basement. then i put the globalcache upstairs in my living room and plug it into my ethernet network, and connect an IR sensor. then after i set it up, i assume that i could use my ir remote to send an ir signal to the globalcache which would then send a signal to the homeseer server via IP and trigger an event to do something with my insteon devices.
and furthermore - i am assuming that if i plug an emitter into one of the ports on the globalcache and stick it onto my AV receiver, then i could set it up so that two buttons on a insteon keypadlinc could control the volume on my AV receiver (one for vol+ and one for vol-).
does that all sound about right or am i misunderstanding how globalcache works?
also i have see that i have to by a $100 add on device to allow me to learn IR codes for the globalcache, but i am wondering if i could just grab ir codes from my prontoedit software and paste them into the globalcache software. is that feasible - of does the globalcache not work with ccf IR codes?
