Global Cache’s Wi-Fi iTach Flex is an industry first, smart end-point that Wi-Fi enables electrical devices instantly. The Flex adds intelligence to the enabled device, allowing events and tasks to be triggered with simple web-based commands. The Global Cache Flex includes on-board memory allowing for stored web pages and files, and web page control. You choose whether you want to control IR or Serial/RS232 devices, then simply connect the Global Caché IR suite of cables or the RS232 Serial Cable into the 3.5 mono jack on the Flex. The Global Cache iTach Flex WIFI is a compact device that adds WIFI enabled control of most devices by way of infrared (IR) or RS232/serial or contact closure. By changing cables you change its function! Just add the appropriate FlexLink cable to determine its ability. The Flex can be used with a compatible iPhone or Android app, using software like iRule and onControl, or with automation software or hardware. Or write your own code using the Flex API. An IR learner is built-in to learn commands from existing IR equipment. Add Flex Link cables to complete the Flex: Flex Link IR Emitter (FLEX-IREMITTER)Flex Link IR Blaster (FLEX-BLASTER)Flex Link Tri Port (FLEX-TRIPORT)Flex Link Relay & Sensor Cable (FLEX-RC)Flex Link RS232/Serial (FLEX-RS232)Flex Link RS232 Mini Jack (FLC-SL-MJ)Flex Link RS485 Serial (FLC-SL-485) A built in web server and 4MB on board memory allow it to serve web pages and for built in HTTP web based control and it is also compatible with iTach TCP commands. The Flex firmware is upgradeable to allow for future expansion.

Remotely control the connected device using an app on a smartphone, tablet, or any other user interface. By adding intelligence to the enabled device, events and tasks can be automatically triggered, adding convenience to the electronics you use every day. Connects almost any electrical device to a WiFi networkAccess, monitor, automate, and control standalone equipmentWeb-based control protocol using HTTPThe iTach Flex system comprises two components: the included compact WiFi-enabling module (WiFi) and a connecting Flex Link cable . Flex Link cables come in a variety of configurations (RS-232, IR, contact closure) to support almost any electrical device. The cable simply connects to your WiFi module via the 3.5mm jack, and connects to your device via the appropriate connector. Once the pieces are connected, the iTach Flex offers remote control with control apps in the iTunes Store and Android Marketplace. The unit includes a 4MB flash drive that enables use of local memory, allowing you to store web pages and files in a standard FAT file system. These files are accessible from any location, on or outside the network, and allow for web page control of your devices. 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 that instantly provides 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 iTach Flex also offers built-in IR learning. Simply Connect With Global Caché The Global Caché family of connectivity products provides choices for the industry professional and the consumer – significantly reducing costs and providing a scalable platform for today and the future. Global Caché's belief in open systems and the evolution of the automation market is being played out today, since cost-effective PC-based and phone-based control applications are now becoming widely available. iTach devices, Network Adapters, and other Global Caché connectivity products have radically changed the automation dynamic. These products are engineered to integrate easily into any control environment, even high-end proprietary systems, providing a path to open systems and better competitive leverage. Product Details The iTach Flex Wi-Fi enables you to easily control any Infra-Red (IR) appliance via your home's Wi-Fi network. Appliances such as TVs, DVD/Blu-Ray, Amplifiers can all be controlled from your Z-Wave network controller (via Wi-Fi), this means you can position the iTach Flex anywhere you need it and then control it from your Z-Wave controller such as Fibaro HC2 or VERA. The iTach Flex includes the unique 'Global Port', enabling you to choose which types of device the iTach Flex controls by selecting any of the Flex Link Cables: Flex Link IR Blaster - Blasts IR signals to all devices in 10m rangeFlex Link IR Emitter - single IR emitterFlex Link Tri-Port IR Cable - enables up to 3 IR emitters to be connected to on iTach Flex The iTach Flex includes access to the Global Cache IR database as well as being able to learn your appliance's IR codes. HC2 Virtual Device To enable the Fibaro Home Center to use the iTach devices, we need to create a Virtual Device. This Virtual Device sends the correct IR commands to the iTach to control the particular appliance and can be used from a browser, smartphone or tablet. This guide below shows you how to: Create a Virtual Device in Fibaro Home CenterUse IR Commands that the iTach has 'learnt' for a specific applianceUse the Virtual Device to control the appliance using IR commands via the iTach IR adapterMake sure you have configured your iTach adapter and have used it to 'learn' the IR codes of the appliance you wish to control.
