I have two rigs in my home that each use an MX 810, from back in that short period when URC was marketing it as a sort of a prosumer product. Having fought all the battles with the admittedly clunky "Wizard" Software, they're both beautifully programmed to do exactly what I want, but after several years of hard use, I'm worried about eventually having to replace them.

My question, does anyone know if the 810i is compatible with the older 810 software? Clearly I'd rather just buy one of the 810i handsets and load it with my existing programming than move to a completely different system or have to try to scrounge for a back-door copy of software specifically for the "i" model.

The "i" was for different RF frequency, will work fine with the software.

My question is why do you want to switch to the i series? Are you having issues with interference on the 418 MHz frequency?

No I'm not even using the RF. It's just that I have two in use with extensive programming effort behind them and I want to pick up some spares while these units are still around for when the buttons on the originals start to go. So, I just wanted to know if the i units would work - strictly with IR - as a direct swap for the non-i.

If you are using RF, you'll also need the corresponding "i" series MRF***.

If you are using IR only, then the remotes are identical, and use the same programming. The only difference is when you bring RF into play, which would need a i series basestation. For your use, you'll be fine.
