I have the units made by Buffalo (IR-100 and IR-250, IIRC) and they are OK. I think all IR systems are a bit problematic, but they are fast and easy. Mostly, you gotta' decide if that's what you want to deal with -- mine go bonkers with CFL and the filter they give only sorta works. I tried Curt's foam trick and different filters (even a bandpass filter from Edmund Optics) and couldn't get results I like...so I switch out all the CFLs.

All seem to more or less work fine. MC, you need a special receiver/pickup to deal with CFL stuff. They're not cheap, but work great. We did the local Best Buy boardroom years ago, and the IR sensors had a range of about 10' when the fluoresents were turned on. We dealt with Xantech, and they had special filtered IR sensors at $80 dealer cost each I think. Range jumped to 40-50' instantly. Worked great. Xantech has awesome tech support as well.|
Oh, and I refuse to deal with Monoprice. Clueless clowns.
