 Used this for home automation solution August 30, 2010
Jerry D. Cargile (SLC, UT USA)
I have a Control4 Home Automation system, but was unable to use my PS3 with the Control4 system. This adapter allowed me plug in the USB IR Adapter and plug right in to the automation system. Now I can turn on my lights, tv, ps3 and receiver all with the touch of a button. If you are interested in finding a Control4 dealer search here: [...]
The less expensive option to control PS3 with an IR remote April 14, 2010

First off if you are just looking for a basic remote to control the PS3 I would recommend getting the official Sony PS3 remote instead of this. The prices are comparable and the Sony remote wont take up a usb port on your system like this will. Also the Sony remote is much higher quality than the Blue Wave remote.
However, If you want to control your PS3 with a Logitech remote (during movie playback for example) then this is the product you need to get. Using my Harmony One I was easily able to learn the commands from this remote and had it set up to control the PS3 in no time; just plugged the dongle into a usb slot on the PS3 and it was all working perfectly.
However by using this remote/dongle combo you lose access to the four colored buttons found on most blu ray player remotes and used mostly for interactive menus/games and also you lose the ability to remotely turn on the PS3 with a remote (which is something you can do with the official Sony remote). For my purposes I've never used the four colored buttons while watching a movie so I didn't care about losing that and if I do want to watch a movie on the PS3 I have to walk over to the system to put the movie in so I don't need to remotely turn it on.
This is the least expensive way to get IR remotes working on the PS3 (such as logitech remotes). I have been using this setup for a few months and I would highly recommend this product.
 Difficult ir learning April 7, 2009

The only reason I gave this product 2 stars instead of 1 is price. It was very difficult to learn into my Universal MX-980. I had to learn almost every command more than three times and I still don't have them all working. I can watch a blu-ray using my Universal remote as apposed to having to turn the lights on to see the Sony's bluetooth remote.
love it September 5, 2008
