IR-RF converter

Sorry for the late answer, I thought I would be notified by E-mail when a reply is posted, but that was an error...

@marlar
I can explain in detail the meaning of the kaKuSwitch command:
kaKuSwitch.sendSignal('M',10,false);
parameter 1 means the channel that you are using. Kakuswitch (in the Netherlands) or Intertechno (in Austria, Germany?) products all have this channel selector. There must be the same setting on all receivers and all transmitters you are using.
see http://www.intertechno.at/medien/produkte/sender/manual-ITS-150.pdf for an example
in the drawing you can see the selector for the sender (3) and the receiver (1)

parameter 2 means the device you want to switch: Intertechno or KakuSwitch allow 16 devices to be switched. In your example you would switch device 10, that you could select on the sender by setting the group switch (5) to position 3 and then select button 2.

parameter 3 says if you switch on (true) or off (false)
In the example you would switch device 10 off.

The actionswitch devices seem to work similar, but I don't know them and the blokker device seems to be a little simpler, I would guess that paramters 1 and 2 are the same as parameters 2 and 3 on the KakuSwitch/Intertechno

look here for pictures and explanations from the creator of the library...

In the meantime I can also swich another device with my IR-RF converter emulating a Fernotron roller blind remote control. I had to do all the decoding of the signals myself since I did not find any references. The decoding process could be interesting for you too. I plan to describe it in detail here in the forum or somewhere else on the Arduino site, but this will take some more time...

The remote control is a Philips Prestigo ST9320.
The touch screen is not the exactest one but still very nice and the concept is very cool. It has a huge device database, you can reposition the buttons of your remote controls on the touch screen as you want, you can add Favorites and store them with the channel's symbols and, it has a good usability, because it is not overloaded with buttons and, quite important for me, it is by far the remote control with the best design (in my opinion )...
It replaces all my remote controls completely, I've never had to use the original remotes since all functions for my devices are there...
I can even open open my car with it (I have quite an old one with an infrared central locking system) :smiley:
