That's really good stuff, I'll try and get it incorporated this weekend!

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
Interesting stuff - of course I can look at this and beef it up, do you fancy mailing me your modified version so I can have a look at it? It would be useful if the Transmit IR action could take Pronto codes as well as native, if anyone can point me in the direction of some docs on the subject I can ...

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
1.0.5 now in SVN. Realised I should be using payload in order to solve the issue of subsequent events overwriting the raw data string. To do this I'm using:
self.handler.irDecoder.Decode(data, len(data))
self.handler.irDecoder.event.payload = rawCode
Is there a problem doing this? i.e. having ...

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
Aha! I was unaware of wildcard event matching. Or I was previously aware and had forgotten. Either way I now agree that there's no need for a generic event (although it only fires once per button press, not hundreds of times).

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
I'm currently using it to repeat codes back to the same KIRA in order to get around the fact that it can't route IR from its sensor directly to its blaster (I want to do this so I can hide all my equipment in a cabinet). In order to do this for the buttons for 4 remote controls I'm using the generic ...

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
Good stuff, thanks for that - although I'm wary of going this far as then it becomes an issue for a non-coder to be able to use it. I'll probably go with moving it into the plugin, and then maybe make it a configuration option as to whether you want those events or not.

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
Right, 1.0.3 now in SVN (and updated in the URL I gave earlier). It is now possible to use it as a repeater - I've added a generic "ReceivedIR" event and am saving the incoming IR into "eg.ReceivedIR" to that it can be used in the TransmitIR action (and indeed, anything else that wishes to read ...

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
v1.0.2 now in the SVN repository. Note that using the plugin as a repeater will not work atm due to some sort of socket concurrency issue. Events fire OK, you can transmit IR OK, but it won't do a transmit as a result of an event. I suspect this is because I'm using the server socket to send packets ...

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
Yes, you just set it to "standalone" mode, then it sends stuff from its IR receiver to the PC, and it accepts IR streams on its UDP port and punts them at its IR output.

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
With repeater function i meant one unit receiving ir and the other sending the exact same code. But with EG in the middle so it canbe scripted.
Oh yeah, should be do-able very easily. I've got two units set up as one Receiver and one Target so that I can control my equipment from another room. You ...

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
The plugin supports multiload, so you'd just add as many as you've got units - to keep it simple I'm using the UDP port setting as both the client and server, so your units would have to be set to different port numbers but that's not a problem. I don't know what the repeater function is, I thought ...

Re: Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
Thanks for that, very interesting. It turns out that the streams are compatible with the EG irdecode routine after a bit of converting, so I've done that and now have a plugin that works both ways. You can get it here if you've got a KIRA - http://www.zedbogey.com/stuff/egkira.zip

Sanitising IR codes (for new plugin for KIRA)
I'm working on a plugin for the Keene Electronics "IR Anywhere" - http://www.keene.co.uk/electronics/multi.php?mycode=KIRAM
I've got it to the point where I can transmit and receive IR from the unit, but the incoming IR streams are never the same twice. This obviously makes it difficult to build ...
