Cat5 would be used for several functions:

1. Screen masking control;
2. Curtain motor control;
3. IR repeater system.

I hope that yellow Romex poking out of the wall is not for 120v power. Can't do that. It must be terminated in a box behind the wall. Now if you are using a surface mount box, Oh, it's OK. Just don't let an inspector see it!

Haven't done it but I will need to when I am finished with my theater. I just did quick research on it and I think a few people spliced their WII sensor into a Cat5 line and it worked. I ran the line in case it does work. If it doesn't then I'll just go with the wireless sensor.
