Does anyone make a relatively low cost device that can be used to power off systems using an IR remote? I have seen devices like the Monster and Tripp Lite, but they are very expensive. I live in an area that is not subject to power surges nor brown-outs so its hard to make a case for anything except a very basic surge protecter.
I would use a trigger type device outside of my SMS-1 none of my equipment has a trigger switch.
I know that x10 equipment might work but am not familar with x10 equipment and have no idea as to how appropriate that might be in an HT or audio circuit.
X10 might be a candidate, but I haven't looked at their product line in a while (don't know if they can integrate with IR, as the old X10 module I have is RF-based) and don't know how good they'd be for a home theater application. Are you planning to do this with an RR2150 or something similar that includes a trigger output?
