I realize this question might seem very obvious to those of you whom have already been controlling IR devices from the Vera, but can you confirm for the rest of us that we will be able to issue commands directly to the puck from Vera scenes, in addition to controlling it from the SQRemote app?
For the short-term, I have a small Plugin that I wrote that "proxies" Pronto Code's over from Vera to the SQBlaster. If you previously had a "Remote" control IR Devices registered with Vera, then this code will "look" (to Vera) like a USBUIRT, and just proxy those commands over. It'll show up in the drop-down lists everywhere that the USBUIRT (and GC100) would, as it implements the same "
IrTransmitter1" interfaces and, in UI4, has the same
IR)) Icon.
The trick is that you still need the Vera bit, and the IR catalog there is a lot smaller than what's available in the SQBlaster... but if you can find the Device, or alternatively find something that has the "on/off" Pronto codes listed for your device, it'll work for the situation you describe.
It's still WAY better to generally control through the SQRemote app, as it handles Repeat (etc) correctly, but the Plugin will let you do basic On/Off (etc)
@strangely is testing it for me, as it's got a few kinks in it's current incarnation. Once the Blasters ship, I'll make that link active to download generally.
I'm sure a much tighter integration will be developed over time.
