Instantly Enables Wi-Fi Control For Any Electronic Device
The Global Cach? iTach Flex WiFi instantly enables WiFi control for electronic devices, allowing you to automate almost any device, system, or protocol. Remotely control the connected device using an app on a smartphone, tablet, or any other user interface. By adding intelligence to the enabled device, events and tasks can be automatically triggered, adding convenience to the electronics you use every day.
Connects almost any electrical device to a WiFi network
Access, monitor, automate, and control standalone equipment
Web-based control protocol using HTTP
Mounting dock for simple installation
The iTach Flex system comprises two components: the included compact WiFi-enabling module (WiFi) and a connecting Flex Link cable (sold separately). Flex Link cables come in a variety of configurations (RS-232, IR, contact closure) to support almost any electrical device. The cable simply connects to your WiFi module via the 3.5mm jack and connects to your device via the appropriate connector.
Once the pieces are connected, the iTach Flex offers remote control with control apps in the iTunes Store and Android Marketplace. The unit includes a 4MB flash drive that enables the use of local memory, allowing you to store web pages and files in a standard FAT file system. These files are accessible from any location, on or outside the network, and allow for web page control of your devices.
Entertainment systems are the most common household devices to be controlled, and most of those devices respond to IR codes, the infrared commands sent by your typical remote control. Integrated tightly with the iTach Flex is a no-charge, cloud-based service that instantly provides the required IR codes for the equipment being controlled. The ease of use and versatility of the cloud-based system ensures the compatibility and expandability of any system. The iTach Flex also offers built-in IR learning.

FIBARO HC2 INTEGRATION
To enable the Fibaro Home Center to use the iTach devices, we need to create a Virtual Device. This Virtual Device sends the correct IR commands to the iTach to control the particular appliance and can be used from a browser, smartphone or tablet.
This guide below shows you how to:
Create a Virtual Device in Fibaro Home Center
Use IR Commands that the iTach has ‘learnt’ for a specific appliance
Use the Virtual Device to control the appliance using IR commands via the iTach IR adapter
Make sure you have configured your iTach adapter and have used it to ‘learn’ the IR codes of the appliance you wish to control.

FIBARO Swipe is a wireless, battery powered gesture-controlled pad that allows you to activate Z-Wave scenes or commands with a simple wave of the hand.
FIBARO Swipe has the appearance of a small tablet but instead of a touchscreen, it uses sophisticated motion identification technology to respond to six distinct hand gestures including four directional swipes (up, down, left, right), and two circular motions (left, right). A single gesture or a combination of gestures may be used ? for example, swipe ?down? to turn off the lights, ?up? to open your blinds. With four short swipes, the living room is transformed into a home theater! Swipe?s only limit is your imagination.
Z-Wave Plus certified contactless gesture control
May be used with wet or dirty hands ? e.g. turn on the lights in the kitchen or bathroom without getting the switches or wall dirty
Endless control possibilities ? e.g. wave goodbye to activate your ?going out? scene, swipe up to raise the volume on your sound system, swipe down to close difficult to reach skylight windows, reach out your hand from bed in the morning to activate your coffee machine
Endless placement possibilities ? e.g. visible on the dresser or a wall with your favourite family photos, or hidden away under the kitchen counter or coffee table
Powered by 4xAA batteries or Micro-USB giving you ultimate flexibility

Product Details
The FIBARO Swipe is equipped with the most precise 3D motion detecting sensor of its kind, which ensures flawless recognition of the performed gestures. It presents a new and innovative way of controlling home automation devices in an intuitive and user friendly way.
The magic of Swipe means you can position it in less conventional places as it will work through solid surfaces, like under a desk or behind a wall. And when displayed, Swipe can be used as a beautifully designed picture frame allowing you to easily change photos whenever you want through a simple to remove front panel. A special gesture controlled menu also allows you to add/remove or reset the device without dismantling it.
With the endless possibilities of a gesture, Swipe is a perfect solution for the elderly and disabled, or people who find technology difficult to learn. Show them how to turn on the heating or ventilate the room without even getting up from the chair.
Swipe needn?t be limited to the home either. Use it in the workplace to help you make the office as comfortable as the home. Control blinds, lights or a projector ? all with a wave of your hand.
FIBARO Swipe features the latest Z-Wave 500 series chip for improved wireless range, security and data transfer rates. Please note: Currently integrates with Australian Z-Wave certified (921.42MHz) Fibaro Home Center 2/Lite controllers only.
Installation
Place the Swipe onto its holder.
Place the Swipe within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.
Plug the power source into the micro-USB port if required.
Set the main controller in (security/non-security) add mode (see the controller?s manual).
Move and hold your hand close to the center of the pad.
If the device is battery powered, high pitched beep will signal exiting the Standby Mode.
Loud sound sequence will confirm entering the menu, keep holding your hand.
After hearing two short beeps (green indicator colour), withdraw the hand and perform swiping up gesture to confirm selection (two beeps will confirm validity).
Wait for the adding process to end.
Successful adding will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller?s message and 3 short beeps (green visual indicator colour).
