 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.

-To use the microphone as an input, you need to adjust the incoming signal level to the sensitivity of the microphone and put a capacitor in series to block the DC component introduced by most microphone inputs. The capacitor C2 is usually not neededit is intended to remove noice.+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 Europefor example: Nexa system, Chacon or Elro AB600.

-To use the speaker output for transmission, you need to amplify the low power AC signal to a normal digital signal level in order to use it. The following circuit is an example:

-But to actually send or receive as IR or RF you also need additional interfaces. 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.
