IR Repeater

Overview

(Deutsche Version IR Repeater)

IR commands captured by SB2/SB3/Transporter are sent to SlimServer which in turn sends the commands out through IR Blaster.

Note: This functionality is only available for SB2/SB3 and Transporter. SB Touch does not support it.

Features

IR Repeater should be able to repeat all remotes using a carrier frequency of about 36kHz to 40kHz.

Requirements

• SB2/SB3/Transporter
• IR emitter (inexpensive and available from Slim Devices or in Switzerland from K55)
• Firmware >= 29 (SB2/SB3) / any (Transporter)
• SlimServer >= 6.2.x
• IR Blaster plugin

Configuration / Usage

To use IR Repeater functionality check the IR Repeater checkbox in the IR Blaster settings page.

Technical

SlimServer does not 'interpret' the IR commands at all and you don't have to have a config file loaded. The IR commands are sent through IR Blaster as they arrive at SB2/SB3/Transporter.

Know limitations

Remotes not using a carrier frequency in the range of 36kHz - 40kHz are not repeatable:

• Bang Olufsen (uses about 455kHz)
• BeamIt (uses about 455kHz)
