quick question. is the main interface for lighting in
the room supposed to be the rk? there is no lighting control
interface? dependent on rti processor for all lighting
in room sounds risky, but nevertheless.
you could use a xantech ir keypad wire it into the ir
input of rp6
program your codes into t2c and make those buttons use
ir trigger codes instead of rf
program xantech keypad and learn the trigger codes from
t2c to corresponding buttons on keypad.
if your lighting control system has ir input capabilities
you might be able to just use the xantech keypad by itself
and not worry about tying it in to rp6

All I need are four simple buttons to send four IR codes via cat5e to either emitters directly on the GEs, or through the RP6 passthrough to the GEs. I have a page on the T2C for the theater lighting, but the client has to leave the remote outside of the theater in order to turn on the lights so he doesn't have to hunt for it in the dark.
The Xantech keypad that my distributor carries says that it is a dry contact closure type and needs its own processor to store IR codes. I'm not familiar with Xantech anymore (been 6 or 7 years since I worked with them) and I don't want to sell more product to the client than we have already quoted him.
The salesman and I are trying to smooth the client over and convince him that the RKs are worth waiting for.
Thanks everyone!
