The following chart visualizes the system architecture of the IRControl system and its components.
Infrared Transmitter
An infrared transmitter is a devices which you place somewhere in your room and sends infrared sequences to your infrared receiver devices like for example a TV. IRControl does support different types of infrared transmitter. If you want to control devices in different rooms, you need an infared Transmitter for each room. You can configure an unlimited amount of infrared transmitters, also parallel from different types.
Device
A device is the part of the IRControl system, that communicate with the infrared transmitter. You have to configure a device for each transmitter you want to access.
Target
Targets represents the devices, you want to control (for example a TV). You have to configure a target definition for each of your devices you want to control. You can control with a device as much target devices you want. You have also to configure the device dependend infrared sequences while register a target.
Page Layout
Page layouts are definitions of the user Interface of IRControl. Layouts contains buttons and other graphical controls, which are linked with the command (infrared codes), that are configured for a target. The design capabilities for layouts are open for your personal requirements. You can access different devices from the same layout as well you can access a device form different layouts. Therefore it is possible the build e very flexibel, individual control system for your home electronics. Let your imagination run wild for your own design.
