Howdy folks,
Ive done the PCIR thing and it works just fine with my Homeseer setup. Now I have a Harman Kardon AVR 430 reciever with the multi room outputs. On the back it has a mono jack for the multi room IR Receiver (as well as a mono jack for the receiver IR itself if I choose to remote mount the stereo), and also a serial port and A-Bus connection. The receiver is $60, I know I can build one myself.... but I need your help.
Can I just build a simple unit with 2 inputs (one for the multi room control and the other for the main room control) using a photodiode and opamp?
Any ideas? I'd hate to spend the big bucks on the two zone Xantech unit....
