What's Included

  • Global Caché Home Network Adapter-8114
  • 12 to 15V DC@500mA Power Supply
  • More Info


    Unfortunately, most household devices such as TVs and stereos can't communicate over networks. Top-to-bottom proprietary systems can control household devices, but are extremely expensive and require specialized dealer training for installation. Recently, more affordable home control and automation software, based on open systems and standards has become available.

    Even with the latest-generation home control software, you still needed to use a hodge-podge of adapters and devices, which can be not only expensive, but also complex. But this Home Network Adapter replaces those various solutions with one easy-to-use, cost-effective product.

    Reviews

    "Very useful device. I use it on a mac network, accessing it via socat (installed via darwin ports) wrapped up in an Applescript GUI. This works equally well under Ubuntu with a Python-based GUI. Access to a windows box is required to capture IR commands using GC's IR Learner." - STEPHEN - PERTH, XX
    "Works as advertised if you're not afraid to do some programming. Very happy with this purchase." - CHRIS - PALO ALTO, CA
    "This is an excellent product that does exactly as it claims. It does take a fair amount of programming work to get it to actually do something. But along with that work comes a great deal of programatic flexibility which is exactly why I brought the product. At it's basic level it gives someone with a modicum of programming skill the ability to control equipment with whatever hardware and software mixture they desire. For custom solutions it's the perfect product." - CLARK - LOS ANGELES, CA
