OH! I DON'T THINK SO!
If you want to (properly and legally) control
a Grafik Eye via IR (Other than by using the IR
receiver on the face of the Grafik Eye) you can
purchase the Lutron Infrared Receiver (part #GRX-CIR-WH)
and wire it to the Garfik Eye using CLASS 2 WIRING
(Never, ever Cat5).
Hmm?
Have you actually read your NEC? CAT-5 is perfectly legal and safe so long as you maintain the legal .25 minimum distance requirement. I have had dozens of electrical inspectors look at my wiring with no negative comments.
If you are not qualified to do Hi and/or low voltage work, hire someone who is.
On a side note, Lutron makes multi gang boxes that have a plastic partition in them for just this purpose. Further they have, or are going to modify the faceplates on newer models so as to provide more space for a hidden emitter.
Regarding box depth, If its a retrofit job, I yank out the old box and install a roomy Pass Seymour grey old work box, this provides for lots of space for the Graphic Eye, those blue Carlon boxes are not worth the effort.
