Global Caché iTach Flex WiFi

Connect almost any device to a wired WiFi network in minutes. SIMPLY!

The iTach Flex WiFi provides powerful, inexpensive, and simple connectivity to almost any electrical device so it can be controlled and automated using an app on a smartphone, tablet or any other user interface. Historically, automation and control products have been complex and expensive, used almost exclusively by the very wealthy. That changes with the easy availability of control apps on the iTunes Store and Android Marketplace, and the ability to connect almost any device in the home to a wired network using the iTach Flex WiFi.

The extremely small footprint, slightly larger than a pack of gum, is ideally suited for trans- parent coupling and seamless integration to any device in homes or businesses. The Flex’s unique hardware form, with a network connection to a 3.5mm jack that supports almost any type of protocol translation cable, offers the ability to bridge products and systems in a way never available before.  

 Use one of the following Global Caché Cables with iTach Flex WiFi: 

• Global Caché IR Blaster Cable- Blasts IR signals to all devices in 10m range
• Global Caché IR Emitter Cable - Single IR emitter
• Global Caché Tri Port IR Cable - Enables up to 3 IR emitters to be connected to an iTach Flex

Applications

Entertainment systems are the most common household devices to be controlled, and most of those devices respond to IR codes, the infrared commands sent by your typical remote control. Integrated tightly with the iTach Flex, is a no- charge, cloud-based service instantly providing the required IR codes for the equipment being controlled. The ease-of-use and versatility of the cloud-based system ensures compatibility and expandability of any system. The Flex also offers built-in IR learning.

Once an entertainment system is under control, the next step may be the shades, or the lighting, the sprinklers, or the Jacuzzi. The iTach Flex IP, with its scalable and simple to use design, will connect them all at the site of the equipment, with no need for a complex rack mounted system. The iTach Flex IP introduces a new concept of distributed automation and control, with smart end-points that enhance and connect standalone devices, allowing for them to be accessed and controlled by apps on smartphones, tablets, you name it. 

Multimedia devices such as TVs, DVD/Blu-Ray players, Amplifiersetc... can all be controlled from your home automation system, for example, Home center.
