I tried using the search function, however, I was not successful in finding the requirements (specification) for a compatible IR blaster. The reason I am in search of this is that I am interested in this item, however, without the specs, I can not evaluate nor can I ask the vendor for data:

Any constructive guidance or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

I'd suggestion checking the LIRC website. Any device that works w/ LIRC should work (hopfully w/ little issue).

Thanks for the tip. I was able to find some interesting info here:

I will report more if I find the hardware spec.

Hi,

The blaster is an easy item to make, Radio Shack 276-143 works fine. Suggest that you put a second colored led in series so can visually see it activate.

I was lazy and simply hacked up a spare 150 receiver / blaster to make a serial device.
