Remote Control Type: Are these outlets controlled by IR or RF?

I don't have this device but I do have another brand and it works with RF, infrared couldn't possibly be used as its too localized and requires direct view of the transmitter.

If by IR you mean InfraRed, yes. It's a remote so there aren't any wires involved.

It is IR (Infrared) remote and not RF. You can see the IR LED in the front of the remote. It will not work if you are not in the line of sight. But it is very sensitive and works even at an extreme angle. However, if it is completely blocked by say a door or you are not pointing at the switch then it will not work. Also, a learning remote can apparently learn the code though I have not tried it.

I don't think these unit come with any IR emitters. I have had success with Xantech emitters bought from Smarthome (http://home-automation.smarthome.com/search?p=Q&asug;=&w;=ir+emitters) and Worthington Distribution (www.worthingtondistribution.com)

I believe the Logitech 890 is the most popular one that will do what you want. I have the Logitech 880 model, which does not transmit RF signals that are required to do the lighting, etc you mentioned. here is a quote from the 890's Amazon page and a link to it. You can also check the Logitech 1000, the latest and greatest Logitech remote. Link to Logitech 890 Universal Remote: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Advanced-Universal-Control/dp/B000CS1TLE/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200787712&sr=1-21 "Logitech's Harmony 890, an upgrade to the Harmony 880 remote control, uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) wireless signals to deliver powerful complete control of your home-entertainment system that may be hidden behind cabinets. With a wireless range of up to 100 feet, the Harmony 890 remote sends RF commands to a wireless receiver, which then blasts infrared signals to the components. The Harmony 890 remote makes universal control for home entertainment and advanced lighting systems simple. "

The R40 has an IR transmitter, consisting of a line of sight infrared light. Most modern consumer electronics seem to use IR but certainly not all. According to the company maximum range is 50 feet. Anything that blocks this light stops the transmission of the IR signal. Furniture, walls, doors are all objects that generally block this light from reaching the electronic device intended to be operated by the remote. So room to room transmission is generally not possible unless you have no walls or clear glass walls. Another type of transmitter seen in remotes is an RF transmitter (radio frequency), which can be attenuated by objects but not "blocked" like a light beam. There are IR to RF and RF to IR converters as well as a number of other more complicated technologies. Often these are "whole house" and professionally installed but can be done by many people with the proper knowledge and research. There are a number of manufacturers including I believe the maker of the R40 that can assist you.

I ended up buying a different model (HP MCE Remote w/IR transceiver). It does not do what you want, and I doubt that any will. I agree with the comment from Lester Barraatt, that this would require BIOS level settings, and accompanying driver software functionality.

Do you use a base station with rf to ir(do you point the remote to your equipment)? Also, you need the program from urc to troubleshoot/program and i doubt you can get it. If you can't find a local installer i might be able to help.

These are infrared emitters. They connect, using the plug, to a device that emits remote control signals. Ideally your remote then talks to the device that emits the signals, which could be a hub or could be some other type of the device that has a "remote out" on the back.Without knowing the model of the DirecTV receiver, it's hard to say but most (if not all) DirecTV receivers don't have the capability. However, most DirecTV come with an RF (radio frequency) remote control which allows the DirecTV receiver to work in a different room.Other than that, you are probably looking at some type of smaller repeater or hub.

I'm pretty sure this isn't an IR remote but I may be wrong. The supplied remote is most likely set to work exclusively with these switches as they can operate through several walls & do not need to be aimed in any particular direction. The box they come in says "Able to resist high levels of interference and barriers such as: walls, glass, furniture, etc." So I doubt that you could accidentally operate them with any other remote or use the supplied remote for anything else - other than possibly self sterilization :-)

This remote is both IR and RF. With that said, I'm not in a position to know whether this will work with your receiver.

You can hook these up to a regular 120 volt switch or some other kind of smart automation device for remote controlling.Only other thing you would need is the required wire to hook everything together and related supplies.

Haven't used this IR port before but in researching this is called RI port and the equipment you are going to control has to have the same RI port in to control that piece of equipment in the other room. Example had a Onkyo CD player and had RI in you could have CD player come on when you turn on receiver. The RI port is a 1/8" mono plug or also called 3.5 mm mono plug. If your trying to control receiver and equipment from another room you're probably better off installing a IR kit but need a 1/8" wire from room to room and a IR kit I've used the cables to go IR kit works good and only about $40-$45 . Good luck hope this helps.

The outlets are controlled together - they're all on or off at the same time, whether using the remote or the buttons on the unit.

They work off of radio frequencies...you can be around the corner or outside and have the other remote inside and they will go off without a hitch! I love them, they haven't failed me yet.

The wall remote has to be hooked to power, and is constructed like any wall switch. There is also a fan controller which goes between wires connecting fan. The remote sends RF signals to fan controller to turn on light, fan, etc. i suppose you could use it for something else, but I would think there are better solutions for wirelessly controlling other electronics

Use IR only or get an addressable remote and rf base station. This remote does not have a dress a bowl RF
