[Q] IR Blasting

[ricostuart]

So I’ve gone and bought myself an XBOX One X for my christmas and have just found out that it will use its internal IR blaster to power on/off my Denon amp. Really impressed it works as the xbox is sitting ontop of the amp!

Anyway, I know that my amp is well too old for CEC (it doesnt even have HDMI ports - all audio is via passthrough on my tv using Toshlink).

So, I was wondering if there is a way of getting Vero to do an IRBlast of the on/off command. Is this possible?

Thanks!

This was discussed just the other day

Vero 4K + IR Queries

Hey I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or answer some general questions about the Vero with respect to infra red? I’ve started using the IR receiver and it works really well and I was thinking about being able to send IR commands. Would a mono 3.5mm IR transmitter, plugged into the 2nd headphone jack, be able to work alongside the Vero 4k IR receiver, plugged into the 1st headphone jack? i.e are they standard headphone jacks and signals are interpreted by the hard…

When we get some free time, I’ll look in to this.

Actually - I do that with the Harmony hub (Logitech).
Even though I don’t like it, it is a universal remote control that can control almost everything, but wants to remain connected to the Internet and phone homes on a regular base.
I don’t trust it for that (Hence locked down all it’s internet connectivity - which makes it behave weird sometimes).
