That would be the ideal way to handle the problem. I am surprised that Adicon never got into the X-10 RF arena.
I ordered a serial Bobcat and an Ocelot today for my video MUX project. I'm worried that propagation delays will haunt that system, too. It will be taking IR commands on from the UR24A's AUX2 and translating them into serial commands the MUX can use. I'm hoping it will be a fairly simply C-Max program to write:
IF IR (X) received THEN Transmit Serial (X)
I'll just have to step through all the AUX2 buttons, capture all the IR codes, assign serial messages to each and I am done.
