Yeah i found out about that Zwave RF i like how thye make
no mention of that on the box it leads you to beleive
that it is standard RF.
But that's just it - there is no such thing as "standard RF" control of a device other than Z wave. Every device is granted an operating frequency by the FCC and no other device can use that same frequency. This prevents, e.g., your garage door opener from turning on your ceiling fan and vice versa. I can only assume Z wave uses a single frequency with digital encoding to identify the device being controlled - similar to a wireless home computer network.
Did you assume the Bose was Zwave compatible or did you assume that any RF remote could control any RF device? Either way it was a bad assumption on your part.
I have a Bose Lifestyle 50 there is no IR mode on it. It is only RF,
is there no cost effective hope for me??
Do as jlet suggested and check the other threads. Some Bose models are capable of IR control, some aren't. If it's not, then you're stuck with it until you toss it.
Now you know one reason why Bose is a 4 letter word to some people. "Better Sound through Marketing".
