[QUOTE="scathe, post: 1054392, member: 81672"] An episode of The Bing Bang Theory comes to mind when reading this :D Anyway, it's not related as much to your computer as to all of the devices you need to control. All the different protocols and manufacturer software you would need. Aim your google searches at the specific brands and even models ... That's where you should start, the IR transmitter would be the last thing to worry about. I mean it's not just a question of pointing an IR diode at your stereo and hoping for the best, you need to have the right frequency, signal codes ... I don't mean to spoil your fun, but I wouldn't expect there to be a ready-made universal solution for this type of thing. Especially when all your systems are probably different make/model and never meant for this sort of thing. Good Luck with your project [/QUOTE]
