I guess we have been on site 4 months now so that makes sense. I don't want to hear about the 10-15k I'm blocking my ears . Car repairs, tiles and all sorts of things have been eating into our reserves, for the moment its head firmly in the sand and hope for the best!

Re: RegVic-Hotondo Homes custome plan - Fence & blinds 1491Aug 04, 2017 2:40 pm Hi Sajid, Broadlink RM mini takes a wireless signal and output an IR signal RM Pro takes a wireless signal and output IR or RF signal If I use RM mini, I don't need line of sight to control IR devices. I Send the command from my phone to RM mini and RM mini talks to the IR device. Re: RegVic-Hotondo Homes custome plan - Fence & blinds 1492Aug 14, 2017 7:58 am RegVic Hi Sajid, Broadlink RM mini takes a wireless signal and output an IR signal RM Pro takes a wireless signal and output IR or RF signal If I use RM mini, I don't need line of sight to control IR devices. I Send the command from my phone to RM mini and RM mini talks to the IR device. So that means the broadlink RM needs to be in the line of sight for the whole of electronics that I am controlling via wireless signal. Like for example The AC and TV plus audio should be in one room and you can't switch on an aircon in room 2 via the broadlink RM sitting in theatre. Is that right??
