The designer wanted the audio/video equipment to be located in a closet in another room. To accomplish this, you either have to have an RF remote, or you need to place an IR sensor in the theater room and run wires to the A/V closet.
Even though I expect to have an RF remote (probably the Pronto TSU9400), I want to be sure that I have the option to use RF if I need it. I decided to run additional wires to the great room on the main floor and outside, so that an RF remote could be used throughout the house 
(thinking more of the next homeowner than myself).
(thinking more of the next homeowner than myself).Purchased a system from Xantech with 10 IR emitters.
Purchased blinking IR emitters for troubleshooting purposes.
Was surprised at the cost of the sensor (bottom picture), compared to the very reasonable costs of the other pieces.
Purchased 18 gauge wire to use as backbone for the distribution system.
