Essential Info

TriggerLinc is a magnetic contact sensor that wirelessly controls lights and appliances throughout your house. When magnetic contact is broken, such as a door or window being opened, TriggerLinc can do things like turn on lights, set the thermostat to its comfort setting, or trigger a custom event in HouseLinc 2. Gain the peace of mind knowing that you'll be alerted when the back door sneaks ajar or the side window slides open. Useful for doors, windows, drawers, sheds, cabinets, and anything else that opens, TriggerLinc is a wireless, easy-to-use solution for adding convenience and awareness to any INSTEON-controlled home. An AA battery is required and included.

TriggerLinc controlling lights
How it works
In the example illustration above, TriggerLinc is mounted to a door frame and the included magnet attaches to the door. When the magnet is separated from TriggerLinc (door opening) it sends a wireless RF signal to the nearest Access Point or other dual-band product (sold separately) which in turn relays the signal over your existing power wires to turn on linked devices such as lamps or wall switches. When the door is closed, TriggerLinc turns those same devices off. While at least 1 dual-band product is required when using an RF transmitter, at least 2 are recommended to ensure a reliable INSTEON network.

Required Accessories
For the best INSTEON network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two Access Point or other dual-band product.

Note: TriggerLinc does not transmit X10-compatible RF signals.

    How it Works
    Simply install a battery, adjust the settings (jumper) based on your application, link TriggerLinc to other device(s) on your INSTEON network, and then it is ready for mounting. TriggerLinc has been pre-configured (default setting) to turn on a light (or other INSTEON controlled device) when your door is opened (magnetic contact is open) and off when the door is closed (magnetic contact is closed). This default setting is great for doors, windows, garage doors, sheds or closets where you want the lights to turn on when the door is opened and you can be sure the lights are off when the door is closed. TriggerLinc's second setting allows for a more custom type of control: Turn on (or off) one set of lights or devices when the door is opened and turn on (or off) another set of devices when the door is closed. For example, this feature provides uses such as:
    • Have lights turn on when you open the door, but leave them on when you close it
    • Have lights turn on to full bright when you open the door, and dim them to 50% when the door is closed
    • Plus many more
    TriggerLinc also contains an input for standard security sensors, so you can monitor many doors / windows from a single TriggerLinc.

    Certifications and Warranty
    All TriggerLinc products are safety approved. The factory for SmartLabs Design Products is ISO9001 certified. Because of this passion for quality, Smarthome stands behind the entire TriggerLinc line of products with a full 2-year warranty.

    CHRIS -- galesburg, MI   4/19/2012
    This works as advertised. This works best on solid doors as someone won't be likely to break through the solid door like a window.
    DOUG -- toms river, NJ   2/20/2012
    Works well with linked devices and monitored by my PC for both lighting and security. Very reliable and easy to setup.
    ROBERT -- oregon city, OR   1/20/2012
    This device works well by itself with insteon devices. However it does not play well with contollers like the ISY-99ir. Even though the insteon devices see and respond to it it does not reset its state in the contoller which makes it impossible to set up events in the controller!
    RALPH -- glen rock, NJ   1/19/2012
    Works as advertised.
    C P -- altadena, CA   1/18/2012
    I am using this in conjunction with the WLS Water Level Sensor. The two items work well together.
    MATTHEW -- aurora, CO   12/12/2011
    This is my first order of any TriggerLinc's. The TriggerLinc's are, in my opinion, too sensitive to the distance between the two magnetic sensors. One of the 6 TriggerLinc's I received does not work with the cover on because the two sensors can't get close enough. If I take the cover off, the two sensors can communicate and thus the unit works. Secondarily, I've noticed that if the speed at which the sensors are separated is slow enough or fast enough, no trigger event is created. So if a burglar opens my window slow enough, no trigger event will ever fire :-( This makes any security application impossible with these devices, in my opinion.
    TIM -- gilberts, IL   12/1/2011
    Works as intended by manufacturer. I would have liked it to be a more independent device and report its status in MobiLinc. I was trying to simply report if a door/window was open or closed. I needed to add an I/O Linc to see the status. The unit is rather bulky plus a bulky I/O Linc just to know an open or closed status. If there is another way to see the status in MobliLinc I would like to know.
    CHARLIE -- sanborn, NY   10/4/2011
    These work great! I have one working on the internal reed switch and another working with external magnet switches. Both are functioning perfectly. I have to wait and see what the battery life will be, but these were super easy.
    LYLE -- roswell, GA   9/16/2011
    Works as advertised. Easy to install and set up.
    KEVIN -- columbia, PA   7/16/2011
    Great for making sure the AC is not on when the doors are open.
    JOERG -- newtown, PA   6/12/2011
    works great, easy to install and very easy to link to other devices
    JEFFREY -- bixby, OK   3/31/2011
    Worked fine for me. Setup instructions could be clearer. Had to call tech twice to get first one setup.
    VINCENT -- wesley chapel, FL   3/18/2011
    Has a few intermittent communication issues even though my Insteon access point is nearby (within 12 feet), but most of the time, it works properly.
    TYSON -- west jordan, UT   2/28/2011
    A little finicky, but works most of the time.
    DAVID -- indianapolis, IN   2/12/2011
    Installed on my garage door and linked it with a light on a keypad for a "garage door open" indicator.
    RUSLAN -- pleasanton, CA   1/14/2011
    somewhat limited range, but otherwise works as expected.
    DEAN -- canton, GA   1/3/2011
    Love Insteon!
    NATHAN -- woburn, MA   1/3/2011
    Great products. Works well with ISY-9
    MARCO -- south burlington, VT   11/1/2010
    way better then my old X10 setup
    CORCORAN -- indianapolis, IN   10/21/2010
    Be careful opening it...broke an internal component in doing so. Was still able to rig it and get it to work though.
