Review: Does the job brilliantly - poor documentation - need to know your tech! - I purchased this so I can build my own KVM solution to switch USB and HDMI inputs via 2 blasters connected to this box. However, be warned, you will need to be tech savvy or a programmer to use this. I coded my client using golang. You "record" the IR using their provided "iLearn" software... which gives you a string of characters. You then connect via your (own) app on TCP port 4998 and then send down the command (which starts with sendir) The unit does not store these IR codes.. you send them each and every time to port 4998 on the unit. It was hard to find this information from their docs! Took me ages to figure out.. hence the 4 stars. 1 star dropped for lack docs.
Review: Das Gerät arbeitet in meinem Wohnzimmer störungsfrei. Die in der Lieferung enthaltenen Emitter kann man angeblich über Y-Kabel an einem Port anschließen. Ich persöhnlich nutze nur einen Emitter, alle anderen Geräte (6Stück) kann ich mit dem IR-Blaster abdecken. Den Blaster wollte ich zuerst mit einer 5m-Klinkenverlängerung betreiben, dabei verliert man aber anscheinend zuviel Sendeleistung. Ich habe dann festgestellt das es viel einfacher geht und den Blaster unten am Phono/TV-Schrank festgeschraubt. Das erste Gerät steht direkt über dem IR-Blaster, das letzte hängt auf ca. 2m Höhe. Wie gesagt arbeitet das Gerät bei mir Störungsfrei mit der Software IRule für Android(zusätzliche Kosten ab ca. 40Euro). Ein kleiner Nachteil ist das bei der Programmierung von Makros relativ große Wartezeiten zwischen dem Wechsel von Geräten eingefügt werden müssen (0,5-1s). Das kann jedoch an der Nutzung des Blasters liegen. Der größte Nachteil ist jedoch der hohe Preis. Trotzdem volle Punktzahl auf Grund der einwandfreien Funktion (Ist in diesem Bereich anscheinend nicht selbstverständlich).

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.
