Oh, one more one last thing!
I don't program my IRLinc to control devices or scenes. In fact, it's programmed to receive codes that intentionally do not control anything in my home! I then teach these dummy codes to a universal remote.
Indigo routes the IRLinc's received codes through an attachment script that parses the codes into AppleScript handlers. From there, they can run anything I want. Anything Indigo can do, and anything else AppleScript can do. The possibilities are endless. No more so than an IRTrans, but I would not characterize them as having "limited uses." No, their weakness is their inability to be programmed by Indigo or anything else intuitive, requiring painstaking manual setup instead...
