globalcache

globalcache global-cache

Global Caché official website: http://www.globalcache.com.

Library to control Global Caché iTach devices (Global Cache iTach Flex devices are upcoming).

Based on https://github.com/tillbaks/node-itach.

This module was inspired by https://github.com/tillbaks/node-itach, but I rewrote most of his code to solve my home automation problems.

I use it with my iTach Flex WiFi (WF2IR).

Installation

npm install globalcache --save

TODO:

• Rewrite learn method to use TCP sockets instead HTTP REST API
• Add HEX IR code support
• Rework queue processing based on feedbacks and timeouts, remove DELAY_BETWEEN_COMMANDS
• Add Flex support
• Add support of RS232 (iTach WF2SL or IP2SL)
