Translate IR cmd into macro with IR & RS232 cmds, with relay
Posted: Fri 21. Sep 2012, 10:40
I need to send an ASCII string to a TCP port (4999, a Global Caché ethernet<>RS232 module) as part of a macro (with IR commands) when my IRtrans (Wifi with DB and internal Universal code receiver) receives an IR code. The IR code uses 25 kHz as a carrier, but thanks to the Universal code receiver it can be seen and recognised.
For example, I receive:
main,activate
And then I want to send:
sony,pwron (IR)
humax,pwrtoggle (IR)
PWR (ASCII string that needs to go to 192.168.1.xx, TCP port 4999)
I want to do this without a PC running all the time. So will this work with just the IRdb? Do I need to use the translator? All the options in the IRdb options seem to be UDP, and there are several places where I can enter IP addresses. I'm confused and cannot find any manual anywhere to explain things. From the product description it says the module can act like a full IR-IP gateway, so I hope this can be done.
