CONNECT ALMOST ANY DEVICE TO A WIRED TCP/IP OR WIFI NETWORK IN MINUTES. SIMPLY.
The Flex is the first multi-functional
IoT gateway that connects almost
any electronic device to a WiFi or
TCP/IP network so that it can be
controlled and automated.
Global Caché’s award-winning Flex WiFi and Flex IP network enables
electrical devices instantly. By using a Flex IP or WiFi with any of our
Flex Link cables (serial, IR, relay, and sensor), the Flex puts previ-
ously unconnected devices onto a network so they can be controlled
and automated. In addition, the Flex supports HTTP for web browser
control from anywhere on the network.
Flex Family of Products
The Flex 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, including system control-
lers and computers. 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 WiFi or wired net-
work using the iTach Flex.
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 WiFi or 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.
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 con-
trol. The Flex includes built-in IR learning, and
Control Tower, our IR database in the cloud
provides easy access to over 150,000 tested
IR codes. The ease-of-use and versatility of the
cloud-based system ensures compatibility and
expandability of any system.
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,
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 sys-
tem. The iTach Flex introduces a new concept
of distributed automation and control, with
end-points that enhance and connect standalone
devices, allowing for them to be accessed and
controlled by the control system of your choice,
including apps on smartphones and tablets.
