The best teams with the Roomie app.

Using it with the Roomie app changes everything. With these and IR modules you can build a very powerful whole house control system. Eventually, many or most electronic system components that need to be controlled will do so over IP. Until then, these Global Cache devices are awesome. I used PoE devices so I can connect to the component I want to power with just one IP CAT6 cable. This will make it even easier to migrate to an IP managed device in the future.

Pros
  • WORKS WITH CONTROL APPS FOR PC, iOS AND ANDROID. The IP2SL-P has an open API that allows serial devices to be integrated with third-party network management systems. It even works with the iRidium application.
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

I wish everything would work this well. Good PoE option.

One of the few devices I've ever bought that works flawlessly the first time and every time no matter what I do with it. When something went wrong it was always a typo in the code I wrote or a connection I forgot to make. I have the PoE version and one less adapter is always welcome; I wish more manufacturers offered PoE options. At the moment I'm using this with Nuvo GC, MPS-4-E (found the IP interface unreliable) and CQC. Couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • QUICKLY CONNECTS YOUR DEVICE TO THE INTERNET. This converter features a DB9 connector that supports baud rates from 1200 baud to 115.2 kbaud and instantly connects a serial device to an Ethernet network.
Cons
  • Updates available

Good luck with your work.

I could not find any utility to create a virtual communication port for a remote serial device that requires 115 kbaud. I contacted support but they basically told me to rely on a third party app that I couldn't port. I even tried the paid version. I did some research and all the forums led to various third party utilities to create a virtual port but I couldn't get them to work. I even tried different versions of Windows and different computers. The three starts actually relate to support. I…

Pros
  • REMOTE CONTROL OF SERIAL DEVICES - Global Caché IP2SL-P turns RS232 serial devices into remote control devices by connecting them to the Internet via a wired TCP/IP connection.
Cons
  • Security

Alright: Power Converters

Hmm, that's okay. I bought it so it wouldn't connect to the serial port on corporate wifi hotspots. First, access to the serial port does not require authentication and cannot be enabled. There's also no decent generic way to access the serial port, and it handles CR/LF a little oddly. As a software developer I've had no problem creating a small driver for it, but nothing exists unless you don't want to and can't run their software (anything outside of Windows or Mac, and you're out of luck…

Pros
  • COMES WITH AN INTEGRATED SERVER FOR EASY SETUP. Download the iHelp setup utility from the Global Caché website for easy network discovery and setup.
Cons
  • Almost never

Best product on the market for TCP to RS232 communication

I don't think the average home consumer will buy this type of device, so I'm writing this for the semi-educated consumer who understands what they are buying or what they are trying to achieve. This device acts as a "bridge" between two commonly used protocols: TCP and RS232 (serial). Global Cache is one of the leading providers of this type of device, which is used by many home automation companies to integrate home automation controllers with receivers, TVs and virtually any type of device…

Pros
  • OFFERS FLEXIBLE POWER OPTIONS - The IP2SL-P operates from either a 5~16V power supply or Power over Ethernet. It has an 802.3af compliant PoE input so you can use the same cable for data and power.
Cons
  • Secret
