How do I send an IR command from XBMC to another device?
#1
This is really a two-part question:

1. Is it possible to have XBMC send an IR command to another device such as an amp?

2. If yes to above, can this be done from a script rather than a remote key press?

The reason I ask is because I have a Smarthome dimmer in my HT where the lights can be controlled via universal remote. Using the Theater Experience script in XBMC I would like to have the lights automatically dim when trailers are being played and then the lights turned off completely when the actual movie starts. Both lighting scenarios can easily be initiated by pressing two buttons on a remote but I would like to be able to do this from a script that can be called before trailers and before main movie within the theater experience script.

Possible?

It can be done using the lirc.send builtin which was added in r28982, and otherwise you could run irsend from the script or just connect to the lircd socket directly.
