Does the remote has to pointed directly at the IR receiver to work or is it sensitive? Also, could the IR receiver be mounted on a ceiling?

The remote does need to be pointed directly at the IR receiver. However, the receiver can be located away from the TV or other equipment. The distance away is only limited by the length of the wires. So it could be the floor, ceiling or coffee table.

Hi Brent - I am with BAFX Products Support.The IR receiver needs to be within the line of sight of the remote and can be as much as 30' away from the remote control. You can mount it anywhere you like, including the ceiling, however you will need to point the remote at it. It does not need to be pointed EXACTLY at it, but it does need to be pointed at it. Some remotes will need to be pointed more precisly than other remote controls, this really just depend son the remote control itself.The IR receiver of our kit is like taking the IR receiver of your device and placing it where you want to point the remote, it still functions just like pointing the remote at the device.Regards,BAFX Products Support Hi Brent - I am with BAFX Products Support.The IR receiver needs to be within the line of sight of the remote and can be as much as 30' away from the remote control.

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

IR remotes work through glass depending on angle and thickness of glass. You will only know if you try one. If it is a thick glass dome it may not work. I have six of these lights and use them indoors and outdoors but I will not turn them on if it is raining. They are very bright and the colors are true. It is a great bulb and I am very happy with them.

I have an old ceiling fan/light and this unit works fine with it. The receiver is installed in the fan base with some rewiring required. It is not real complicated. The unit works very well with either the wall switch or the remote that comes with it.

Just pointing it in the general direction works for me. I haven't looked for the location of the IR sensor as I haven't had a reason to. My Panasonic TV is mounted on the wall over a fireplace, with the soundbar just underneath, on the mantal. The woofer is sitting on the floor, about 4 feet below and about 2 feet to the left of that.

There is no IR receiver that I know of or see. Remote capability is via Z-wave communication.

remote needs to be pointed directly at sensor. also sensor does not pickup movement until almost directly in front of the sensor. would not buy again.

Thanks for your question. Line of sight with Roku is not necessary for the remote to work. If you have an infrared (IR) light remote, the light emitted from the remote bounces off the ceiling or the wall behind the television and then hits Roku's sensor. By the way, if your TV is located in a room with a two-story high ceiling, you will need to get a Roku 2 or Roku 3 for the remote to work.

Im my application, the units are so close that the DISH box actually sees the IR signal from the other side of the room, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no IR passed from the unit. The only way to use a DISH remote would be if you use the UHF remote supplied with their dual channel products for the second room receivers. Hope this helps.

Make sure that your radio can receive IR signals. Mine did not so I was unable to use it at all. I would imagine that it would work as long as you have a good line of sight. Most IR remotes work up to about 15 feet.

There is no light. You can think of Flirc as a universal IR receiver. It doesn't matter what signals your remote puts out, as you can teach Flirc to understand whatever you have.

To give an example of how this works, consider a room with a projector in the rear of the room and the rest of the equipment in the front. When you point your remote toward the equipment in the front, without the IR blaster, the projector wouldn't receive any signal. When hooked up to a RF hub like the Harmony Ultimate or Smart Control hub, the IR signal for the projector would be 'blasted' toward the back of the room to control the projector without having to point the remote toward the projector.

No, the remote is bluetooth and communicates with the hub, which then sends the IR info.

The reception seems to be pretty sensitive. When I was setting it up for my Raspberry Pi it was in a closed cabinet with other home theater components connected to an IR repeater system. Even without an IR repeater connected to the FLIRC (and the cabinet door closed) it would pickup signals being repeated to the other components. There's an unused repeater hanging loose in that cabinet which is probably the one that is bouncing signals around inside the cabinet and making it work. I know it doesn't directly answer your question, so I'll run a quick test with the FLIRC facing the back of the cabinet and the door open to simulate your scenario and report back.

The remote uses IR to control the receiver. I would just make sure that your enclosure does not obstruct line of sight between remote and the IR-receiver (front of unit)... If you're connected through wi-fi, you could just use the android/iOs app and not worry about line of sight issues.

Like most dslr cameras the remote or sensor is in the front (left of lens under the shutter button) of the camera. Depending on your remote angle that is where you have to aim for. You can use a small mirror to reflect the ir beam too. Good luck!

The remote is Infra Red so it will not work through a door and, yes, you do need a clear path to the receiver.
