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

    "This item appeared to have great promise for use in home automation application with Crestron....until I got it and we tried to program it. I wasted several hours of time using a certified Crestron programmer and we still could not get the devise to work as described. I am sure that it would work if a person is willing to spend a lot of money and time working with it. But for me ....I should have (and ultilmately did) just bought a Crestron Room control box that interfaces seemlessly with my other Crestron stuff. Global Cashe' was once slatted to be the worlds Crestron killer...offering simimlar functionality for lots less cost for the hardware. They should spend more time on program instructions and IT support. I wouldn't waste time with this item." - MICHAEL - SAINT CHARLES, MO
    "I happened to get one that came from the factory with one of the side screws missing (no issue other than that). Smarthome quickly had the manufacturer send me a packet of screws and I was all set. I was able to avoid the hassle of exchanging it." - MICHAEL - COMMACK, NY
    "The product is unique for the IR control of devices." - KWEE BOON - SINGAPORE, XX
