is 900 capable of doing this? thx

[itchykawa]

@czlzy I believe so. All Logitech remotes work off of the same data base. If your remote supports the Harmony Extender, I would also recommend getting that too. The IR-543 box is just like any other device. You just treat it like any other equipment.

@itchykawa on logitech's website it states tht 1100 and 900 are not capable of sequences.. but is tht true this can be done by creating more activities? btw is there a limit on how many sets of activities can be created?

[itchykawa]

@czlzy You are correct with sequences, but I haven't had a need for them. You can set delays and such with the 1100 and also by creating multiple actions under the activities, you can kinda work around that issue. There really isn't a limit, the only limit is how many devices you can add. 12-15 is the max.

So how exacrtly can you control the lights alone?? I mean do you need to buy special remote control plug sockets? And then program them into the controller?

Thanks.

Ps. great demo video.

@ADMediaEmpire One more thing, as for programing the controller, that is done on the box itself. Each light module has a House Number and a lighting number. I set my box to House B and each lighting module I set 1 lamp to (1) and the other on (2). I also set the lamp modules to match the house lettter (B). They have these numbers and letters so you can mix and match many lighting systems in the house with out duplication.

Its pretty cool I wouldn't mind having one to toy around with....but at the same time I like turning things on especially when I have to get up.  Gotta get that exercise!

@ADMediaEmpire Thanks for watching. You can control the lights in many ways. You can actually use the IR control box that has the buttons on it, or you can go into the devices on the remote, and access the controls for the lighting box in there. You must obviously program the IR-543 box in the remote software. Watching my programming guide to see how I did it.

@faint255 Yes I do use the extender for the lights. I do not need the IR bugs since the extender bounces the IR signal off my walls.  It works great!

Are you using the RF extender to operate your lights?
