Joe,

The IR stuff is really pretty easy.  I ordered an extended IR out cable from
Worthington (I think it's about 50 feet).  This plugs into the IR out port
on the Ocelot.  There is a built in IR in reciever on the Ocelot.  You
simply point your remote towards the port on the Ocelot, and use ECS to
'teach' both the Ocelot and ECS the IR signal.  It can then be sent to your
TV/Cable or whatever.  There is a section in ECS.HTM which explains all
this.

I haven't experimented with the stereo or CD players yet.  I'm not sure if
you can put the IR cables into a 'Y' cable or not.  The one I bought has two
emitters on it - I use them for SAT and VCR - this way ECS can record TV
shows.  One thing to note, though, there is a VCR remote group in
EXAMPLE.CFG that has ICONS that you are supposedly able to click on and have
it send the proper signal to the VCR - mine is always off by like one digit
when using the ICON-CLICK stuff.  But, it works fine from ECS coding (which
is where I use it most.)

Good Luck!

Hi

I wonder if someone could please advise me.  I am thinking of upgrading my
Enerlogic 1400 (this is prehistoric by today's standards I think!)  What do
I need?  I checked out the ocelot and it looks like it can be connected to a
TW523 for X10 control.  What about IR?  How does that work?  I want to be
able to control my stereo, TV etc. using IR.  Should I get an ocelot or
leopard?  What about accessories?

Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Joe
