[Woodworkers] a question about glass

[John McCaskill via Woodworkers]

Depends. IR needs some visibility, although as Joe said, usually work through smoked glass. RF needs none, but your devices need to be able to accept it. 

I've got a repeater that receives an RF signal and then transmits an IR signal to the components. It can work behind solid doors. The placement of the repeater signal transmitter is tricky on some devices. It has to be "just so" over the IR receiver on the device.

Everything is always okay in the end, if it's not, then it's not the end.
