Thanks Randy.

So, with the knowledge that the INT-422-3 I have here doesn't support an extender then I guess it is not an option since I need at least 20 IR codes/commands to be emitted for a single button press macro.

I guess I am back to my original question about which inexpensive and simple ...

Very much appreciated.

But, before heading down that path... does the plan to have long delays as I've suggested even make sense? The main question that pops to mind for me is whether such a delay would end up sucking up a large amount of battery since/while the processor is spinning in a delay ...

Looks like maybe I was wrong about extender support for the INT-422-3. Am I correct that it looks like there is extender support for the INT-422-1, INT-422-2, and INT422-4, but not the INT-422-3 ?

Ok, so I see the Inteset INT-422-3 shows as having extender support.

If I can get around the requirement for delays (which I think I can) then I suspect the path of least resistance is to stand on the shoulders of those who preceded me. And you all look like giants after I've done some more ...

Ok, so I am still coming up to speed on the architecture involved here. Am reading the Protocol Builder page here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/wiki/index.p ... ol_Builder

Is there a better spot to read about the framework? The above page looks pretty comprehensive after a brief perusal...

Thanks Rob.

I would be leaving the remote on a shelf (just next to the platform's control/IR receiver box). Optimally, I'd like one button press on the remote to execute multiple minutes worth of macro (including multiple timer/wait iterations of 10-60 seconds each).

But, now that I think about ...

I am in U.S. Thanks for the prompt follow-up. You've already helped me understand plenty by relaying that timers are tricky in this realm. Is there a remote out there that might support time delay operations natively (maybe a short sub-second delay built-in that could then be repeated to construct ...

Advice on the simplest/cheapest compatible remote

Hi,

I have done a lot of reading, but haven't stumbled across the specifics of what I am looking for.

I only have one IR device to control, so the remote I am looking for does not need to be complex at all. Really, I am more interested in simplicity of connectivity to my PC and simplicity of ...
