Is there any use for a multi protocol IR receiver/ transmitter?

[QUOTE="myscha, post: 1119529, member: 74181"] Hi folks, I'm working on a small piece of hardware which connects as USB HID and doesn't need any driver installed (except for flashing or updating the firmware). There are some files that have to be stored in a directory and an executable that connects to the USB device and offers some configuration options. At the moment the following features are implemented or (at least) planned: 1. device featured [LIST] [*]supports about 40 different IR protocols (if neccessary) [*]interfaces the PCs power and reset button (if neccessary) [*]can wake the PC from any power state, either via USB or via hardware button (S5) [*]integrated clock can wake the PC at a given time [*]supports 3 independent IR commands for power up, power down and reset [*]can reset the PC if the according IR command is received 3 times in a row [*]is able to forward received or to transmit own IR commands to other devices [/LIST] 2. host featured [LIST] [*]Standalone GUI application for configuration [*]application accepts command line arguments for setting the next wakeup time or to initiate transmission of an IR command [*]initiate transmission of a custom IR command by clicking a button (useful to teach commands to a programmable remote) [*]shows the device time, wakeup time and the last received command [*]assign received command to power on, power off or reset functionality [*]assign IR commands to keyboard buttons or sequences that are sent to the top application [*]assign IR commands to start applications (with arguments). This can be used to trigger IR commands when receiving specific commands [*]TVserver plugin that polls the PowerScheduler for the next wakeup time and transfers that time to the device [/LIST] So my questions are: - would anyone be happy about an according device with software? - are there other features that should be integrated? Hard- and software offer room for extensions. As an example: on my own hardware I added an optical S/PDIF interface and some circuitry that maps the power and hdd LEDs onto one single multicolour LED as my case only offers place for one single LED.
