Hi,
I would like to install an IRT-LAN-DB in a closed closet together with a settop box and apple TV box.
Outside the closet there will be my TV.
Now I want to be able to:
- Use my existing remotes of the TV, settop box and apple TV to control the three devices.
- Control the three devices using commands send over the LAN (eg. using a home automation system).
My questions are:
1. Can this be done by the IRT-LAN-DB?
2. Is it correct I would need to install an external receiver outside the closet to receive the commands of my existing remotes to be repeated into the closet.
3. Is it correct I would need to install an external transmitter outside the closet to transmit commands to the TV.
4. If answer to 3 is yes, would I need a High Power one if I want to install the external transmitter behind the TV?
5. Do I need an additional external transmitter inside the closet? Or are the internal leds in general powerfull enough? Irtrans will be installed next to settop box and apple TV.
5. How is echoing of self repeating prevented in the scenario with a closed closet? Can I prevent the self repeated commands received through the external receiver to be retransmitted to the external transmitter outside the closet (because I guess that would cause echoing)?
Kind regards,
René
