The only way to control an iphone or ipad is via bluetooth, the Tecla provides that bluetooth communication. I use it with an optical switch at the moment but it is stupid when I have a joystick in front of me.
The Tecla just needs a command from a switch (the joystick acts as that switch) to send a bluetooth command to the iphone. I've got no idea whether it is volts I just know how all the bits link together and think that I can configure R Net using mode 4 with input as raw and output as IOM3 the first unused one. The confusion came from thinking Omni had different outputs, it doesn't, it has 2 inputs for SID's and a single output communication cable back to the R Net.
John,
Bluetooth is involved only to allow him to work his phone from the wheechair, not the other way around.
No bluetooth options available.

You can get an idevice bluetooth module from PG, easy enough to connect and configure one mode for and configure different direction joystick pushes to do different things on the IOS. Downside is it is £400.

Lenny, wheelie junky, My joysticks allows that already - BT built in. And infra-red so I can control the TV in the pub! And my own, lights, etc. Built in. Elryko has many for sale. At a sensible price if you ask... I bought 2 for 125 each, although not from him as it happens...
Yes I have had an account at PG since buying OEM programmer in 97, as I build chairs, reprogram others inc a soccer team etc. And use it to buy PMs, joysticks, cables, IOM, etc over the years. Not sure if that makes it any cheaper or not. Certainly a LOT cheaper than buying from a chair manufacturer although YOU are the programmer, configurator, decision maker.

The R-net Bluetooth Modules allow a wheelchair user to control a Bluetooth enabled device through the R-net Control System, either through a Joystick or via a Specialty Input Device(SID) connected to the R-net Omni. Typical applications include PC mouse control or operation of a Smart device. Up to two Mouse Modules and one iDevice Module may be connected into an R-net Control System, so enabling simultaneous control of three Bluetooth devices, one being an iOS device. However, the Mouse Modules must be of different PGDT part numbers –D51111 and D51523; and the iDevice Module must be D51580.
If two Mouse Modules or two iDevice Modules of the same part number are connected, then the system will not function correctly. If only one Mouse Module is required, then any of the Mouse Module part numbers may be used. Here is a summary of the current part numbers: D51111 –Mouse Module –Can be used with PC or Android Smart devices D51523 – Mouse Module – Can be used with PC or Android Smart devices D51580 –iDevice Module –Can only be used with iDevices
R-net Joystick Module CJSM2-BT
The next-generation R-net Joystick Modules set new standards in user-interfaces – not least from the inclusion of a large, high-resolution and modern LCD screen.
Integrated Bluetooth technology is an option, to enable control of computers, Android tablets, iPads, iPhones and other smart devices from a powerchair. Available Bluetooth devices are displayed in a menu on a large, high-resolution screen and joystick commands are used to select and operate the various devices. To switch between the devices, the user simply navigates the menu and selects the device they wish to control. The CJSM2 will seamlessly connect and reconnect between the available devices.
