Chowmain - Sainsmart NCS1 Ethernet to Serial Bridge 

Chowmain Software & Apps is pleased to announce the release of the Sainsmart NCS-1 for Control4. Add additional two way RS232/RS485 serial ports to Control4 on a budget. Useful for devices in remote locations such as security systems, lighting systems, solar inverters, projectors and more. This device is by far the cheapest method of integrating serial ports into Control4 with other devices costing 4 times more. This makes Control4 even more affordable to the masses.

  • Two way feedback 
  • Extremely Affordable

Why do you only support OS 2.6 and above?
