power pyramid as a substitute for IR543?

[gandc40]

Hello all,
I own a remote that has x10 ir codes, it is the Harmony 880.
I was looking at the power pyramid or the ir543 ir to power line(x10) to convert my Harmony remote's ir signal to x10 format.
I know the IR543 will conver ir to x10 but does the power pyramid do this as well?
It states that it does on the website, but doesnt make it clear that it converts all ir signals that are sent its way.
Any Ideas?
Thanks!

I use a Harmony remote to send (X10) IR to my IR543 on my HT. That is the only way you can get X10 signals on your powerline via IR. The PowerMid won't do it. The PowerMid can take/transfer the IR signals some distance... and into enclosed areas. But doesn't convert the signal to PLC (Power Line Command).

The IR543 is no longer available at X10... but can be found on Ebay.
