Controlling The Lights With Infrared Remote Control

[johnhome 0]

Does anyone know where can i buy the circuit for remote control of the lights?

i intend to remote control my air con, curtain, lighting all using the Logistic Harmony remote control (or something else good and cheap)

but i do not want to get those from Legran, Clipsal etc, as most of theirs is RF, not infrared.

also, if i will to buy those infrared remote control from some light shop, which cost abt $35 each for 4 channels, it is not reliable.

also, what i want is the circuit where my Logictec Harmony remote contrl talk to, i do not wish to buy those light shop remote control, only the circuit, any suggestion?

anyone here remote control your lights?

think be quite difficult to find something that is cheap and good for this type of toy, as this is considered life's luxuries, and luxuries items are never cheap

according to my research, the most reilable brand to get for this kind of toy is from clipsal or legrand. there are of course imitation brands from korea and china as well. i took my switches from clipsal but not the remote control.

best to spend more money to get a reliable brand than having the curtains "hang" halfway when the circuit board malfunction

Why not use RF ? Infrared require point of sight, so control must point to the device
