I just got a Duet today, and was planning to replace my SB2 in my media center, and put the SB2 in the bedroom as a remote display.
Unfortunately, that won't work! I have been using my whole-house automation system (a StarGate) and my distributed audio system keypads (Xantech MRC-44) to control basic Squeezebox functions- on, off, play, pause, stop, skip. StarGate starts up the SB2 in the morning, and turns it off when I turn off the lights at night, leave the house, etc. With the new Duet receiver, there is no way apparently to control it with IR commands! That seems very short-sighted on Logitech/Slim Devices' part, since the IR interfaces were already there, and just having a jack would've been sufficient to interface the Duet with either an automation system or a programmable remote control. Other than stringing IR wires to the bedroom or using one of those Radio Shack IR to RF things, is there any way to get IR signals into a Duet receiver? Has anyone hacked a solution to this? I noticed there are several unused connectors inside the receiver- any place to hook up a cable from a Xantech IR block? It would also be nice to be able to go the other way and control the AV equipment via IR from the Duet, although I don't really need to do that. Thanks!
