Enhance the versatility of your INSTEON network using I/O Linc – INSTEON Garage Door Control & Status Kit to let you know if you accidentally left the garage door open and remotely close it if necessary. This kit takes advantage of the bi-directional capability of I/O Linc - INSTEON Low Voltage / Contact Closure Interface ( 1 In / 1 Out ), allowing it to send a command that indicates the status of your garage door and to receive a command that operates the garage door. Using INSTEON automation, you can link a button on a KeypadLinc as a status light to indicate whether or not your garage door is open and remotely open or close the garage door from other areas of your property using that button or another button on the KeypadLinc, a SwitchLinc or a RemoteLinc. You can even check status and open or close your garage from anywhere in the world using a web-enabled phone or PDA using the ISY-99i  Home Automation Network Controller.

 

Caution:
You should only remotely close a garage door when you can be sure it is safe. Use of safety beam devices can further increase the safety of remote garage door control and are usually required by law. Smarthome is not responsible for any damage from proper or improper functioning of the device(s).

How It Works
The included garage door sensor mounts to the garage door and is wired directly to I/O Linc’s sensor input. When the garage door is open, the garage door sensor triggers I/O Linc to send a signal that will turn on an INSTEON controlled light and/or report its status, for example, to KeypadLinc status LED’s or PC software. Additionally, I/O Linc’s output relay wires to your garage door motor just like your existing button, allowing you to remotely operate your garage from any INSTEON controller.

Note: Two sets of 20 Foot 2 Conductor, 22-Gauge/AWG Interconnect Wire, White have been included to provide connections between devices.

Required Accessories
To connect sensor wire with I/O Linc, any 1.5mm flathead screwdriver that is small enough to fit the I/O Linc screw terminals is required.
