I do this in my family room. It's not optimal, but it works pretty well. I wouldn't do it in a dedicated room, but it's a good compromise between function and WAF. I wouldn't recommend using the soundbar for the center with the in...

Not sure if it's smart or not, but I am sure it works. I've used a similar setup to heat my "office" (Finished 8 X 20 garden shed) for the last 4 years or so. I have a 12vdc wall wart wired through the heating terminals of an old school...

The CT600 has a 1/8" jack on the back that will accept I.R. from Xantech hardware, & the in-wall keypads have I.R. receivers. The keypads just send I.R. commands to the base unit & are programmed just like older URC MX series remotes...

No experience with multiple units, but I use it with some success on 60 year old wiring and over considerable distance. My modem and router are in my office in the house (with it's original wiring circa 1950) and I have a PC in my kids...

Just a thought, but does your motherboard have a clear CMOS jumper? I had an Asrock board a few years ago that was shipped with the jumper in the "clear" position & the board wouldn't post. Not likely to be the problem I realize, but...
