Invent Your Own "IP-Enabled" IR Devices

If you have access to at least one of the three following control options, you can unleash the power of iTach on your IR devices: 1) PC-based control software, 2) iOS/Android control apps (such as iRule), or 3) a high-end control system. Yep, even if your only control system is an iPhone, you're in iTach business.

What is the Global Caché iTach?

Each one of the nine different models in the Global Caché iTach series is a simple device that allows you to connect nearly any infrared (IR), serial (RS232), or contact closure (relay) device to your home network (the Internet). Once your device is connected to the Internet through the iTach IP to IR converter, that device becomes "IP-enabled", meaning you can access and control it over the Internet. Each iTach unit supports up to eight simultaneous network connections.

The iTach IP to IR converter is perfect for creating an ultra-customized home automation and/or security system. With the Global Caché iTach IP to IR converter in your control arsenal, you can add intelligence to just about any electronic device in your home or business.

Choose the Best Connection Type

The Global Caché iTach product line includes a model for each of three types of devices (IR, serial, or contact closure), as well as each type of Internet connection (Wired, WiFi, or Wired PoE).

This IP to IR converter model is used to connect up to three infrared (IR) devices to your network via Wired Ethernet. Please Note, all other models are sold separately. This model must be connected to the network via Ethernet cable (not included) and powered by the included plug-in power adapter (not PoE).

Integrate iTach into Your Control System

Global Caché, makers of the iTach, have partnered with almost every software control and home automation company out there. The iTach is widely compatible with 3rd-party systems due to Global Caché's published API, which enables anyone, anywhere to develop a driver that allows a 3rd-party system to control your iTach-connected devices.
