The Global Cache Flex is an industry first, a tiny device that connects previously unconnected hardware to a Wi-Fi or TCP/IP network so it can be controlled and automated by the controller of your choice. Based on open systems and standards, the Flex allows for easy integration in any control environment, from high-end proprietary systems to apps on a smart phone or tablet. The Flex connects anything IR, serial, or relay (with sensor input) to a network, and supports HTTP for browser control from anywhere in the world.
