[slinkelist] X10 IR Control & SlinkX IR

[Dave Houston]

X-10 can work with IR although in a rather limited way. The IR543 
from X-10 is an IR to X-10 transceiver. You send IR to it and it 
sends X-10 to the powerline. However, it only works with a single 
housecode. You could learn the 16 IR codes from one of the X-10 
remotes which can be set to send X-10 to either an RF transceiver 
(e.g. RR501) or IR to the IR543.
