Bang&Olufsen IR support

Will Homey also support the Bang&Olufsen IR Frequency (455 kHz)?

IRTrans has some devices that can send IR codes for B&O. Check out:

Now it's just a matter of Homey supporting IRTrans..
But I don't have any experience with B&O, so for further questions please contact IRTrans.
I have an IRTrans module laying around somewhere that I once programmed to translate standard IR signals to 455Khz. I haven't used it in a long time because my BV11 controls all connected devices. But I plan to reprogram it to translate IR signals from Homey to, for example, lower the B&O systems volume in case of a relevant event or in combination with Plex control. I'm pretty convinced that it'll work.
Also hope to use it to control Homey using the beo4 and beo5
Peter,
Please let us know if it works.

I would really like to integrate my B&O tv.
I have done some experiments with the IRTrans module and it worked.
For the test setup I programmed the IRTrans module with a few Beo4 IR codes and some IR codes from a Philips TV Remote.
I then learned the Philips IR codes to Homey and created a few flows that use these IR codes (receiving and sending)
When Homey sends the Philips IR codes they are translated by the IRTrans module into Beo4 codes and when I use the Beo4 the IRTrans module translates them to the Philips codes and sends them to Homey.
So technically this all works as expected.
FYI, After testing I stopped using it because it is a lot of work to configure it all and at that time the IR handling of Homey was rather poor.
