Quick question,
Are the Elan Z630's zones able to be controlled via infrared only? That is, if there are zones where a keypad is not needed, can just a simple infrared receiver be connected in place?
Anyone ever done this?

no you need to wire into the zone that you are looking to control IR and ground; if you go the mx route. IR, 12volt and ground if you use a IR receiver
