Compact, All-In-One Controller.
Single room solution.
CF Mini is a powerful all-in-one controller. Featuring IR, I/O, Relay and RS232 control, the CF Mini makes a great single room or distributed solution.
IR, I/O, Relays, RS232,
All-In-One box.
Featuring a variety of control methods in a single box, the CF Mini is perfect for single room installs such as home theatres and boardrooms, as well as distributed systems such as classrooms.
Scalable via CFLink,
expand as needed.
The on-board CFLink BUS means you can link the CF Mini with any other CFLink devices, even multiple CF Minis. CFLink BUS supports over 200 devices, although the maximum system size would depend on how much traffic the system has to cope with.
Combine with LAN Bridge
for ethernet control.
Control all aspects of the CF Mini via Ethernet by linking it up with a LAN Bridge on your CFLink network.
Overview
The CF Mini is a powerful, all-in-one controller. It features 8 x IR outputs, 4 x configurable I/O ports, 4 x 30VDC latching relays and one RS232/Program port.
Rules Engine
All CFLink devices, including the CF Mini, support a powerful rule triggering engine. This allows you to trigger macros to run when a specific event occurs - such as reading a specific value via the I/O ports, or on incoming data via the RS232 port. Using the rules engine, you can setup basic or complex automation actions.
Link with LAN Bridge
The CF Mini does not feature an Ethernet port. Instead, the CFLink port is used to expand your system with any other CFLink devices. The LAN Bridge is a perfect companion for the CF Mini, for a very affordable single room solution when controlled by a mobile device such as the Apple iPad.
IR Database & Storage
All IR emitting devices in the CommandFusion range include an on-board IR database, with over 500,000 IR codes built in. If the device you want to control doesn't exist in the database, simply use our IR Learner to learn the IR codes and create an IR file ready for storage directly in the IR Blaster's on-board memory.
