Sending IRCode to two IRTrans LAN's Simultaneously

Thu, 09/24/2009 - 18:56 — iRedUser

Hi,

I have two Velux skylights with IR remote control in two different rooms.  In each room I have an IR Trans PoE with an external high power emitter.

The skylights in the two rooms use the same codes to open and close them.

How can I have single iRed2 remote control button open both skylights?

In the IRCodes or Action "pane" - where you define what a button does - it seems that you can only send the IR code to one IRTrans at a time.

How do I tell iRed to send the code to two IRTrans at the same time?

Thanks

You're right, but ...

Hi iRedUser,

that's a feature which is not requested too often as you might know. However, it is planned, but not in the next release. Until then, there is no way to make this with IR Code actions, however you may create an AppleScript instead, which contains two calls to iRed to send two IR codes using different modules, for example:

perform action Code "VolUp" of Device "Sony/6.1 Home Theater" using module "LAN Controller"
perform action Code "VolUp" of Device "Sony/6.1 Home Theater" using module "Office"

Please note that from within iRed you may omit the tell application "iRed2" to ... part.

Cheers, Robert

Works...but only with internal LED

 Robert,

This works great... but the applscript only fires the internal LEDs.  

In my application to control my skylights I need to fire the external LEDs from the applescript... can't seem to see anything in the applescript dictionary for iRed to do this... is it possible?

I have set-up the IRTrans LAN to fire both the internal and external LEDs - and sending a test of the applicable IR Command from the action editor works with no problem.

Thoughts?

Thanks

But it Works on iRed1

 In iRed1 with the preference set to "send to all connected modules" you can have a button send an IR code to all IR emitters on all connected the modules at once!  Of course you don't have other flexibility...

New using led AppleScript Functionality is Great

 Robert,

Thanks for the recent addition of the "using led" applescript functionality... solved my immediate need.  Skylights working great now.

Still looking forward to being able to send IR commands to multiple IRTrans without applescript - hopefully that will be soon!

Thanks again
