I second the recommendation from Lincoln using old DM-RMCs. I think many of us have a couple of these buried somewhere in old boxes in a dark corner of the office and I think it?s much better to reuse them instead of just throwing them away.
Reusing some 2-series processors can also make sense if you have a couple of other stuff to control in a rack to justify the additional power consumption, but if it?s really just one or two remote devices to control, the RMCs are just fine¡

People still use IR? (ducks and runs)

Aside from an EISC or slave (can you slave a 2-series to VC4¡hmm?) an old processor if you have an old fully caffeinated DM-RMC handy (DM-RMC-100, DM-RMC-100-C, DM-RMC-100-S, ....) you can use these for the IO ports even without using DM for video ¨C just connect the Ethernet port to network and make sure you either have it configured to run DHCP or with an appropriate static IP address.

It¡¯s a little janky but these are the times we¡¯re in and you can use native Crestron IR drivers¡
I have a few projects that I can't get processors for and the only thing holding me back from doing VC4 on them is I need IR. The CEN-IO-IR is back-order as long as the processor is, so what products have y'all had success with for IR?
