Any alternatives to IR543?

IF still looking for IR capabilities I would look at the usbuirt and Tuicemens PCC,  With the plug in pack  it allows for IR sends and receives.  This also will add alot more functionality to your system  check it out at Tuicemen.com

It's now available.  I note it is not new, I have an IR543 in one of my spare boxes.

I don't think so. Did you try and go to Checkout? I think it is a dead web page.

You are correct!!  The info is correct for the Wiki, bit the IR543 is only in the X10 Wiki, so if you want to get one, it isn't going to happen.

Well X10 may be making them again. A number of folks have put them on the wish list. Usually "Checkout" will say unavailable, so you might get lucky. Let us know if you do.

Good luck

Some of the older sales pages where never removed or marked discontinued.
Unfortunately we see similar reports on many of the other discontinued devices found on obsolete sales pages.
