Review: Great device for sending IR commands over IP - I’ve used these multiple times for different projects. They’re excellent units and very useful if you need to control IR devices over a network. Global Cache’s entire product line are well made and powerful problem solvers.
Review: Best option for integrating IR devices with a home automation network or otherwise sending commands from TCP - I do not believe the average home consumer purchases this type of device, so I'm writing this for the semi educated consumer that understands what they are buying or trying to achieve. This device acts as a "bridge" between two commonly used protocols: TCP and Infrared. Global Cache is one of the leaders in these types of devices, used by many home automation companies to integrate home automation controllers with receivers, TVs, and just about every type of device that has a remote control and takes infrared commands. Centralized home automation is not just for the uber-rich or the professional installer anymore. A Do it Yourself (DIY) community of people are out there that have built many great tools for building your own home automation solution. With the communization of devices like an iPad, you can use software to design your own remote control. These types of devices are critical to controlling devices in your house. RS232 is substantially better at delivering commands to a device than infrared, but many times you have no choice. In that case, this is the best device for bridging that gap to include infrared devices in your home automaton scheme. Keep in mind that infrared cannot give you feedback (such as acknowledgement that the device received the command, or the ability to ask a device a question - What is the currently volume level?) where RS232 and TCP do. So, if you want to communicate with a device via a home network, RS232 or TCP are preferred. These devices work great with a home automation package called Indigo by Perceptive Automation, and can be integrated using a plugin called Global Cache. Certainly these devices can be used with just about any home automation system, but these are two of the best for the DIY market. Feel free to reach to me if you have questions.

## Features

- CONNECTS UP TO 3 INFRARED DEVICES - Through the Global Caché IP2IR iTach, you can connect up to 3 IR appliances to the internet through the 3.5mm stereo jacks. This makes the devices "IP-enabled."
- LETS YOU REMOTELY ACCESS IR DEVICES - Acting as a wire conduit, the IP2IR allows you to monitor and control "IP-enabled" infrared devices (e.g., DVD player, cable boxes) using control software/apps.
- WORKS WITH PC, ANDROID, iOS CONTROL APPS - The IP2IR has an open-network system, so it integrates seamlessly with PC-based control software, iPhone/iPod/iPad apps, and high-end monitoring systems.
- OFFERS A SIMPLIFIED CONFIGURATION - The IP2IR has an integrated web server that adheres to TCP, HTTP and DHCP standards. Using the iHelp Setup Utility Software, you can set up commands through TCP/IP.
- SUPPORTS FIRMWARE UPGRADE - Global Caché designed the IP2IR module to be flash upgradeable to accommodate future upgrades in the field.

### ⭐ Great potential but currently of very limited value
*by G***D on July 29, 2012*

The IP2IR hardware works well. What they don't tell you is that, other than for testing, it MUST be used with expensive and complicated third party software. There is no capability with the included web interface to even set up simple on/off control of IR devices. Global Cache had the opportunity to build a really great product but is simply missing the point by not including any practical application capability with the IR2IP. If you don't have the required software already, there is absolutely no point in buying this item.
