Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it were possible to use an IR out port (from a Philips RFX9400 for instance) to send simple RS-232 commands into a device's Rx on its RS-232 port? After all it's all zeros and ones in the end.
It appears that
this device might be the solution. Does anyone have any experience with using those?
I would greatly appreciate any advice.
It is possible. It just really depends on so many factors like your conversion piece and the end device receiving the commands. I know CentraLite had a piece that allowed you to control their whole house lighting system with an IR-to-RS232 translator.
It's sloppy, but it can be done.
