I want to set up two strips, one behind my desk &1 behind my TV if i get another power adapter and IR sensor could i control both with 1 remote?

I'm not 100% sure, however I would imagine yes you would. Although I think most importantly, if you buy another IR sensor most typically come with a controller. So I'd say you're safe either way.

I don't believe you will need to install more than one. I have my hub in a closed cabinet and it is controlling 3 IR devices and my PS3 (Bluetooth). It does come with 2 mini IR blasters if you have to string them in the cabinet. I did not have to even use them.

You can use the same remote for both, its basically an IR emitter and the bulb looks for a certain ir blink pattern, the control patterns are the same for both bulbs

so far, I have linked 2 light strips together with no problem. just make sure that your power adaptor uses the most amps possible without damaging your strips. I believe the most you can use is a 12V 5amp adaptor.

Yes one remote would control both (or more than 2) dimmers. Unfortunately for those wanting to have several different sets of lights (for example ceiling lights and plugged in table lights on two different dimmers) this can't be done. All the remotes and switches use the same IR code so you can't address each dimmer separately. A big shame.

No you do not need two systems. This unit simply relays IR signal(s) sent from any remote to your devices hidden away. You stick one of the four IR blasters coming out of the unit on the IR eye of each of your devices and the IR receiver on the edge of your TV. Then you point any remote at TV and press button. The signal will leave your remote to the IR receiver and through the cord the unit. From there the unit will replay the signal to all 4 IR blasters that are placed on the IR eyes of your devices (STB, DVD, AV Receiver, etc...)

You can program it to control two different TVs, or six for that matter, but the remote will need to be line of site to the TV you want to control since it still relies on Infrared, just as the factory remote for your TV does.

i am sorry, but i have no clue as to what you are talking about. i bought my ir receiver to get my remote signal in another room. that is all i know about them.

I have run 2 strips through one of those 133 channel controllers. Just set the length to 100. 6A power supply going into the controller. No problems. You will have no problems controlling 4 strips, and you can inject power as you stated if necessary.

yes you can use both RF and IR simultaneously. I use IR for my TV (since it is in plain sight) and use RF for all of my other devices. In the software setup you tell how you want to control each device.

No, not by just connecting one strip to another. Anything beyond 2 5meter strips will be to far from the power source. That amount of length would probably require a data repeater for every 10meters of light strips.

It wont interfere. The PowerBlaster has to be either wired to the TV IR point or yourTV should be in the range of the IR blast. If you have same brand TV which could get the blast of IR, then bothTVs will switch on and off at the same time.

All of the light strips came with a coupling on both ends of the strips. This means that you can simply daisy chain them together and control them with one remote straight out of the package. Very simple, very easy, no extra equipment required.

All it does is redirect the IR signal from a remote to rf into the other x10 which converts it back to IR. It should operate with as many as it can keep in line of sight. I have mine right next to my receiver and have no problems controlling my DVD player or cable box above it. It should control anything.

Yes . As long as they are not wired in series .Meaning end to end . you have to buy the multiple splitter that plugs into the ir controller and have a 5 amp 12v dc power source .you will also need a roll of 4 conductor wire to reach the other far away locations .add as many rows of lights as you want as long as you don'r exceed the amperage of the transformer.lights will be dimmer when you reach that.i have seen a threeway splitter .but at the end of each of those three rows you can now add more lights to the end of each . As long as they don't exceed 5 meters in length on each of the 3 rows. 5 meters is a little over 16 ft in length. then all the lights control buy that remote will all be in sync when changing colors.

Yes , you have to have enough amperage goin to it though . Connecting the two strips is easy enough as they sell connectors for exactly that . Be warned the remote control units that are being sold are a little vague . It was a bit of a guessing game getting the wiring hooked up right but once done it looks incredibly nice :-) <{ under counter installation for me }.

You should be ok, there are dip switches that let you set each one to different frequency, i have 2 and they don't interfere. Actually because of the remote's 2 sets of controls, i can control both switches from one remote. But you don't have to set it up that way.
