The long-awaited BC2 automation controller from BitWise Controls shipped out to dealers this week. The BC2 is basically a mid-sized version of the company’s BC1 controller. However, the BC2 has a new IR chip to transmit a broader array of infrared signals (than the BC1). BitWise has added a new browsable database that includes both common and obscure codes, developed a new standalone USB learner and released Project Editor 1.9.

The BC2 includes two USB ports, an Ethernet port, four routable IR ports, two RS232 ports, two relays and two I/O ports. All the specs are here.
