 NetHomeServer can use the speaker audio output to send protocol signals for IR or Radio (RF) protocols. To actually send them as IR or RF, you need some kind of additional hardware that can transform them. NetHomeServer can use the speaker audio output to send protocol signals for IR or Radio (RF) protocols.

-In the same manner, the microphone input can be used to decode such protocols, and again you need some kind of hardware to receive them.+In the same manner, the microphone input can be used to decode such protocols, and again you need some kind of hardware to receive them.

-Fortunatly, building these interfaces is not very hard. You can do it by modifying existing devices or by using special built devices. Here are a few examples of devices I and some other users have built.+I have collected some examples of transmitters and receivers that I and other users have built. If you have built a good interface for transmission or reception, you can mail me the descriptions and I will publish them here.

 +With a generic 433.92MHz OOK transmitter connected to the speaker output and the protocol drivers in NetHomeServer, you can control most of the radio controlled remote switches sold in Europe, for example: Nexa system, Chacon or Elro AB600.
