Prontos are easily given "IF Then" capabilities with creative programming. But the ultimate funtionality combo is a Pronto combined with an Intellicontrol. The Intellicontrol has always had the ability to teach its RF commands as IR equivalents. By sending out the IR commands to an IR Sensor hooked to an Intellicontrol, you can achieve The Intellicontrol's automation with the Pronto's configurable interface. I stopped selling Intellicontrols without Prontos some time ago. Solves pesky RF interference problems, and makes my systems able to be completely manual free. Writing 10 page manuals to go with an automated sytem like the Intellicontrol used to bug me alot!
