[QUOTE="bigbew, post: 402063, member: 76691"] Hi guys, I'm wondering if it is possible to automate lighting using MediaPortal. Basically I would want the lights to dim/switch off when media is playing and the return to full brightness/preset level when media is paused, stopped or finishes. I have a Logitech Harmony 1000 remote and a "Trust" infrared receiver to control MP: [url=http://www.trust.com/products/product_detail.aspx?item=15254]Trust - Wireless Vista Remote Control RC-2400[/url] I've read somewhere the IR Server Suite can do this, but I can't make head nor tails of anything to do with it. Also I've heard of something called "IR Blasting", but again I don't know enough about this to know if I'm heading down the right track. I know this isn't really the right place to ask this as this is a MediaPortal forum but it can't hurt! I haven't bought any lighting systems yet, but am looking at several halogen downlighters. What hardware would I need for these to be dimmable by the Harmony/MP? This includes IR transmitters etc. Thanks [/QUOTE]
