I am new to RTI and have done quite a bit in a short amount of time, but I am looking for some feedback as to recommendations and capabilities.
In my home (my demo site for now), I have an XP-3 and a T2i, off of the XP-3 I use the following drivers:
- Nest - Vera - Sonos - Global Cache
I also have one virtual panel license for an iPad.
I'd like to control my three displays all wirelessly, but am unsure of what the best way to do so is. Control4 has CardAccess, so I purchased a Global Cache to be able to do wireless IR. It is tedious to generate every IR code, compress it then put it into the system.
So, is there either an easier method of getting the IR codes from HEX, compressed, then assigned to a button, or what is the recommended action to control multiple displays wirelessly all from one controller? I'd like to leverage my home wireless if possible (I'm a network engineer with an AV background, so wireless coverage is perfect). I'd rather not have to put a processor behind each display. If that is the best method, can I communicate between processors (XP-3) via Zigbee?
I seem to be at a loss with how the cheapest and best method would be to control equipment via IR over WLAN or Zigbee.
