UltraGCIR3 is a HomeSeer plugin (HSPI) that allows you to use HomeSeer to control infrared (IR) devices, respond to sensor inputs and contact closures over a network using the Global Caché network adapters.
| IMPORTANT: This plugin is considered to be feature-complete by the developer and no future updates are planned. Community support is available via the message board but direct developer support is not guaranteed. Be sure to trial this plugin before purchasing. |
| HS4 users: This plugin was created for HS3 and should run on your HS4 system. However, the setup/config pages are not optimized for use on mobile devices. |
Main Features
- Support for an unlimited number of Global Caché devices.
- Support the GC-100 and iTach Global Caché IR/Relay devices.
- Automatically detects all Global Caché devices on your home network.
- Ability to disconnect and reconnect a Global Caché device.
UltraGCIR3 HSPI Overview:
- UltraGCIR3 uses the Global Caché discovery protocol to automatically detect the Global Caché devices installed within your home.
- A HomeSeer device is automatically created for each discovered Global Caché module.
- Using the Global Caché iLearn utility, you learn the IR commands for your remote controls and save the results to a file.
- Using the IR Import configuration web page, you then import the learned commands for the desired IR module.
- Learned IR commands can be added, modified or deleted using the IR Devices web page.
- Once the initial configuration is complete, you can control your IR devices and relays using HomeSeer device actions.

It does what it is supposed to do!!
A little learning curve but other than works great.
The plug in is easy to set up, configure to add IR Codes as needed and works excellent with HS 4 to communicate with Global Cache devices.
I raised issues with discovery of this device through th plugin using multicast beacons. These are router dependent and this particular beacon seems to be problematic for some routers and router filtering. In my opinion IP addressed coupled with static IP is a sure way to connect. MAC addresses would even be better. Anyway i reported an issue to the author received one response about router setup that I already had done and then the author stopped communicating. Finally GC directed me to a unsupported homeseer PI (Global Cache Pro) that uses IP addresses like this author only uses to exclude devices. The unsupported PI works perfect and does not require or depend on non-standard router quirks and setups. Please being back support and update the Globle Cache Pro plugin
Ultra Jones Plug-in works fine.
Global Cache products are vague when determining which components are required for a particular application. Implementation instruction also vague. Work well once you figure it out.
