Hello everyone,

I just got a TSU 3000 remote, and have just about set up my first successful PCF file to run my entertainments system. Now to the lighting!!!!

I would like to be able to control my living room overhead lights with remote. I talked via chat session with X-10 and they recommended 1 WS-14A master switch and 2 WS-12A slave switches to control the lights as well as an IR543 to switch from IR to X-10 RC control.
Now to my questions:

1) Do I need to buy an additional remote to learn these IR543 IR codes, or are these in many PCF's or CCF's available for download?

2) I would eventually also like control of the ceiling fan (on/off, low, medium, and high). Does anyone know of switches that would perform that function using the same IR543 controller or is that a different animal altogether?

Thank you so much in advance for any advice you can give,

Michael
