Just found out from a URC rep that they have had a few issues with them, namely when Lutron builds them, they don't limit the RF or something like that. He said just warranty them and it would be fine.

Would like the codes. Contacted you via email, maybe you didn't get it. Thanks Ron.

Yes, I do. You can try a RFTX1 from URC, it retails for $40. Looks like it has IR input and RF output assignable to either 433Mhz or 418Mhs to handle either lighting system. They came ouot with this for their Zigbee remotes in in-wall keypad. No resason it shouldn't work with our processors. I haven't tried it yet though.

The RFTX-1 is something you put on an emitter port on a MRZ-260 (for the zigbee remotes) that then sends out an RF signal to the lights. When I went to the training for CCP I asked and was told it modulates the zigbee 2.4ghz lighting commands to 418mhz or 433mhz.

Yeah, you plug it into an IR port on the MRZ260. ALl of URC's base stations convert RF code into IR code, but the don't store IR codes,(except the MSC400). By that reasoning I said he can try it and it should work. Never know untill someone tries it.

I understand what the piece does I was just passing on what I was told at training. That it was not converting it ever to an IR signal, just from zigbee 2.4ghz to 418mhz. I was on phone with tech support asking an unrelated question about CCP, and asked again. First I was told that the RTFX-1 did not receive IR commands from the MRZ260, but then when I realized what I was asking for (keypads, time based automation) h ut me on hold and went to talk to an engineer. I was told that it did receive IR signals, but i would damage the equipment it was hooked up to due to voltage also being sent to power the RTFX-1. I assume he meant that its a stereo mini jack between the two pieces, but if not there would be other options to isolate the voltage from feeding back into a keypad or processor.
So I guess someone with a zigbee 880 and MRZ260 should program up a dummy system and try to capture the IR commands leaving the MRZ260.

Before I order any, could someone shed some light on what or where the URC programing sheet is. Does it come with? Or from URC site. Thanks for the codes Jeff.
