I would like to control my components and lighting with one remote (something like the Harmony 900). I understand that the Harmony 900 does not support Z-wave, and don't really want to get an 890, as the support and features seem a bit limiting with Z-Wave anyway.
So searching the forums, it seems that I need to find an IR to RF/Z-Wave converter. I would like to do this without a HTPC/Server running HomeSeer (for example), as this seems to be an expensive solution to allow controlling very few lights (maybe 2 or three switches and an outlet).
Is there a simple solution to this? What are my other options - I seem to be missing something. I just want to be able to control a few lights, set scenes, etc. without spending a ton of money.
Any suggestions?
