KNX/EIB [frage] BIQ IR bedienung

[oNNoZeLe]

Hallo allen,

i have a small question about the BIQ 3 IR RTR..

why have a remote control with 10 (times 3, a/b/c/ group) buttons where it is only possible to use the 3/(6) physical buttons on the BIQ.

Or is there a 'nifty' way to program virtual buttons?

Just asking.. :-)

It is only possible to program the existing physical buttons on the BIQ with exactly the same functionality.

Perhaps this is changing in the future?!
I think it will be not possible to have more buttons because then the IR codes are not defined.
But I want to use my Harmony to call other group address than on the BIQ buttons.

If you already have a "Harmony" - invest into one IrTrans and you can call ANY group address!

if that is true then this BIQ product with IR is crap..!!

too bad that i have 4.. ;-)

i didn't mention that B.IQ is scrap!
in our house i use them as well - but without IR!

If chipset/controller on the 3 and 5 BIQ are the same then it should be possible to flash or set the 3 biq to think it is a 5..

unfortunately i don't have a 5 to check the chip/controller coding or type numbers...

anyone?

I think without a linux server, Homeserver, EibPort or Eisbär it is not possible to use IRtrans.

My EibPC does not support IRTrans yet.

Well, you could program the RS232 to communicate with it, though.
Perhaps you look at the 1-Wire macros for a first start
