I have been looking for something like this. Looking at the brochure-site, this thing seems to lack one critical feature. The ability to control your component through wi-fi. What I mean is this: imagine you have to send 20 macro commands to your home theatre system, which includes dimming the light, etc. With IR, you have to be in the line of sight of all the IR sensor (or use an IR/RF-RF/IR bridge, but LoS is still needed). With wi-fi, you can have the "server" send the IR commands through an IR blaster to the components
I probably will spend a pretty penny for something like this, otherwise I'll save my money and put together something like this with my own time.
