HouseBot

Hi



Is possible to control my Bang & Olufsen system ?

If assuming you mean controlling it by remote, then with the Niveus remote for example, yes you could. Since it's a learning remote, you just program it so it learns the B&O's signals and you have control of Meedio and control of your sound system with one remote. If that isn't what you mean, excuse my ignorance.

I was looking at housebot as a Wifi remote, I know that Creston can control B&O systems - any Ideas

Crestron and housebot are two very different worlds. Housebot may or may not be able to control you B&O system. The reason I say it may not be able to, is B&O uses a higher IR frequency that is not as common as other manufacturers. I have seen some IR repeating equipment act up when sending B&O codes. Do you have a Crestron system? I'm a Crestron programmer...If you have a 2-series processor with an E-Net card, you can use e-control to give you wifi control.

HouseBot doesn't have any inherent IR limitations if that's the issue. However, the IR hardware that is supported by HouseBot may have limits that would be a problem. I don't know the IR limits of all of the hardware supported, but HouseBot has plugins for the following IR transceivers:

• Ocelot / SECUIR
• USB UIRT
• Slink E
• Global Cache GC-100

Can your system be controlled through RS232? If yes you may be able to configure a generic serial plugin to relay commands from a Wifi Pocket PC running a HouseBot software remote.
