I haven't managed to find an OMM + MI7 for an affordable price (this is only a hobby). My current plan (hope) is to build the equivalent of an OMM. I assume that what is required is something like a Vishay TEMD1000 photodiode feeding a TIA and then follow with an Arduino or something similar to decode the contact/battery low signals. It would be great if I could start with something that is known to work to acquire the IR signal.
