I was contacted by the iRule people and asked if I would assist them/advise them. I never looked at command fusion since I did not know about it. I do intend to look at it. My real goal is to eventually code on the iPad natively, i.e. using the Cocoa framework. My experience with the iPad so far is much less satisfying than with the Pronto form a usage standpoint.

My theater is controlled by a PC. My home automation system is PC based TCP and UDP are the only modes of communications (Transport layer) I use. I have a Global Cache GC118 as part of the house infrastructure to handle all IR except in the theater where a USB-UIRT handles it.
