The iTach Flex Wi-Fi provides wireless connectivity to infrared (IR) or serial (RS232) components with a device the size of a USB memory stick. Configure your iTach Flex Wi-Fi with IR emitters and IR blaster, or connect the auto-sensing serial cable to control all of your components.
The iTach Flex includes the Global Port. Connect either a single IR emitter, a single IR blaster, or the Tri-port Cable allowing up to 3 emitters or 2 emitters and 1 blaster, or even connect the Auto-Sensing Serial Cable that automatically determines whether it should be a null modem cable or a straight through cable. The same iTach Flex Wi-Fi can control any of these scenarios simply by swapping the connector on the Global Port.
Detailed Description
FLEX IP-P - Flex IP with POE
Global Cache iTach Flex WiFi
The powerful and small iTach Flex WiFi provides
wireless IP connectivity to infrared (IR) or serial (RS232) components
allowing for intelligent control of your electrical devices and audio
visual gear via smartphones, tablets and other 3rd party apps and home
automation systems.
Take control of your remote controllable
devices.
Seamlessly control infra-red (IR) or
serial devices over a network and the Internet � from your
smartphone, tablet or home automation gateway controller.
The iTach Flex WiFi provides a new level
of automation and control flexibility without depending on
line-of-sight, batteries, careful coffee table positioning, or
flaky protocols.
What can you do with the Global Cache iTach Flex
WiFi?
Here are just a couple of examples of what you
can do...
Smartphone Universal Remote.
Turn your smartphone into a truly
intelligent universal remote. There are a lot of apps available
for both Apple and Android smartphones and tablets that will
allow you to create your own customised, powerful universal
remote control.
The iTach Flex from Global Cache has
become the industry standard device that will allow these apps
to control your infra-red and serial devices � including audio
visual components, TVs, projectors� basically anything that can
be controlled via infra-red (IR) or serial (RS232) connections.
Home Automation Controllers.
The iTach Flex
works with home automation gateway controllers such as the
Vera Lite,
Vera 3,
Fibaro Home Center Lite
and Home Center 2.
By adding the iTach Flex to your home automation setup, you can
easily expand the capabilities of your smart home controller to
include infra-red (IR) and serial (RS232) control.
Now you will be able to not only control
your lights and appliances, you can also control all of your
home theatre equipment as well. This will allow you to create
customised home automation scenes that include dimming lights,
turning on your audiovisual equipment and setting everything to
the correct inputs ready to watch a movie, or Foxtel, or
Netflix... all from the push of one button.
How the Global Cache iTach Flex
WiFi works...
Connecting a certain type of
Global Cache cable defines how the iTach Flex will
function and interact with your remote controllable
equipment. For example, connect a single IR emitter, a
single IR blaster, or the Tri-Port Cable allowing up to
3 discrete emitters or 2 emitters and 1 blaster, or even
connect the Flex Link Serial Cable that can be switched
between a null modem cable type or a straight through
cable type. The same iTach Flex WiFi can control any of
these scenarios simply by swapping the connector on the
Global Port.
Add to
your network.
The
iTach Flex WiFi connects to your home�s wireless router
via standard WiFi (Ethernet
version is also
available).
Connect
iTech Flex cables.
Depending on how you would like
to control your devices, you connect iTach IR Emitters,
IR Blaster cable or Serial RS232 cable to the Global
Port on the iTach Flex WiFi.
Control
your devices.
The IR blaster can control many
devices by placing the blaster in front of the devices
to be controlled. IR emitter cables are attached
directly to the infrared receiver window of devices to
be controlled.
