Sorry if this was asked & answered previously, looking through the previous posts I didn't see this particular issue addressed.
Would it be possible to have a USB-UIRT built which would have two input jacks on it – the existing IR emitter jack plus an additional jack for an IR input which will come from an IR distribution block?
I plan to put the USB-UIRT inside a structured wiring enclosure and thought that two jacks would be a more reliable solution than having to tape an emitter to the front of the unit. I will be using the USB-UIRT for home automation and just need a way to detect and transmit the IR signals from a computer.
