Hi, I am a long time user of Girder 3
I tried moving onto Girder 4 about a year ago, but didn't have much luck & versions were changing pretty quickly, so i stuck with 3 for a while.
Am now back to trying to set 4 up & have fallen at the first hurdle.
I can't get girder to recognise my remote. It is a Marmitek Mopuse Remote JR20E (Remote) JR21E (Reciver) It is a serial device & is pluged into Com 1 on my PC.
When i try to enable generic X10 remotes I get the log error

Time Date Source Details Payloads
17:04:20:015 7/24/2006 Girder Plugin Open failed: C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder\plugins\X10-Remotes.dll

Do i need to enable anothe plug in first, do i have a fauly dll, or does Girder 4 just not work with the serial mouse remote?
Please help, I am sure there are many new & useful things that girder 4 does that 3 does not. If only i could get the damn thing to work!

Dom.

Dom,

we have not ported a serial file to work with this remote AFIAK. But, it might work with the ActiveHome software and the CM15A plugin.

I don't use the remote for it's X10 capabilities, just for remote control of my PC, but i understand that it has a much better range than the USB ones.
I noticed there is a serial driver for the W800RF32. Does anyone know if this would pick up the transmition from my remote? if it does, then can girder be controled by it? It looks like it should work?
From looking at the W800RF32 site it looks like it will recive codes from the small keyfob remotes as well. Could be time to splash out some more money!

I *think* this remote would work with the w800 remote... it definitely works with the small key fob and other x10 rf devices.
