The ability to add additional RS232\/422\/485 ports, IR ports, relays or other control ports will be very simple and cost effective. Open protocols will make it simple to interface with third party control systems, and integration with CommandFusion\u2019s own iViewer mobile application will be a simple affair.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 x RS232 ports<\/li>\n<li>6 x IR or 1 way RS232 ports<\/li>\n<li>4 x Dry contact inputs<\/li>\n<li>On board IR Blaster<\/li>\n<li>On board IR Learner<\/li>\n<li>2 x expansion card slots<\/li>\n<li>On-board real time clock with battery backup<\/li>\n<li>USB connection for PC communication and control<\/li>\n<li>USB Host connection<\/li>\n<li>Scheduling &amp; Rules Engine for event and time triggered macros<\/li>\n<li>Web browser configuration (no software install required)<\/li>\n<li>Integration with CommandFusion\u2019s upcoming cloud service for remote monitoring and logging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Solo will have an estimated retail price of $770 AUD (around \u00a3360) and will be available through the CommandFusion distributor and dealer network or from the <a href=\"http:\/\/store.commandfusion.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">CommandFusion store<\/a>.
