Essential Info

The latest INSTEON plug-in module, I/O Linc, lets you monitor and control any low voltage devices such as alarm sensors, electric door strikes, and contact closures as part of your INSTEON home automation network. With one dry-contact sensor input you can control many INSTEON devices throughout the house. Plus, use the built-in single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch, connect any low voltage-powered device for continuous or momentary operation. Create your own remote-control door lock using an electric door strike and power supply or use a security sensor turn INSTEON controlled lights on or off. I/O Linc is also backward-compatible with X10.

Required Accessories
Sensor wire: 16 - 28 gauge wire fits, but 20 - 22 gauge recommended

  • More Info

    I/O Linc's flexible output relay can control many different types of low voltage devices, from pool valves to electric door strikes to garage doors due to its different relay modes. When controlling devices like pool valves, you will want the ability to leave it on for an extended period of time, giving it plenty of time to fill the pool. As it approaches the desired water level, then you can remotely turn it off. For devices like electric door strikes, set I/O Linc's output relay to momentary, allowing you open the front gate using a RemoteLinc or any other INSTEON controller. A third version of I/O Linc's momentary mode allows you to remotely press your garage door button with an INSTEON On command, but only if your garage is currently closed. This allows you to open your garage with On command and close it with an Off command. Because I/O Linc uses a garage door sensor to know whether the door is open or closed, it only controls the garage when it needs to.

    Controlling Two Separate Loads
    With the addition of a DPDT Relay Board, the I/O Linc is capable of switching two separate loads on and off together. In this configuration, the I/O Linc could control two different loads of varying voltages (i.e. one high voltage and one low voltage load) or two higher current loads (up to 7A @30VDC each).

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

    Worked as adverstised. These modules are better than the old X-10 for a large house like I have. X-10 just didn't get the job done, but now these modules and the Toggle LInk Relays get excellent, troublefree coverage.
    ERNIE -- mamaroneck, NY   11/25/2011
    Cool unit. Hooked it up to a cheap thermostat then linked to an appliance module to control a heater in that remote room. Works like a charm.
    R STEVEN -- kingwood, TX   11/7/2011
    I used this item to replace an older one on a garage door system. If you haven't setup a remote monitoring and control of your garage door, you need to do this. Great system.
    ROBERT -- canby, OR   10/1/2011
    The product is great and would receive 5 stars if it were not for their poor reliability. This purchase was to replace another I/O Linc that had failed. This was the second failure in a 2 month period for this type of Interface. Both failures were the same with the output relay failing to operate. Both failures were after slightly over a year old in operation with my garage doors. I now am forced to buy replacements with the added 7 year warranty. If they only last a year, the extra warranty period should pay off!
    PETER -- burnsville, NC   8/15/2011
    No problem. Works fine. Instruction manual hard to understand
    MICHAEL -- yorkville, IL   6/23/2011
    Just what I needed to control a geothermal unit with only 208V and 24V supplies. Much cheaper and more reliable than a new thermostat.
    WILLIAM -- stockton, CA   6/17/2011
    Solved an random signal issue with X10 unit it replaced
    DENNIS -- appleton, WI   6/9/2011
    Easy to Setup. Works great
    MICHAEL -- hopedale, MA   5/20/2011
    The I/O linc works great for garage door control but I didn't like that I had to use a lamp or appliance module in conjunction with it to be able to monitor the door status on the keypad linc. With three garage doors, that makes it a bit more expensive. I would think that feature would be built into it just like any other module.
    KEVIN C -- rockland, MA   3/19/2011
    I cannot figure out how to monitor the input sensor from my software.
    CHRIS -- maricopa, AZ   3/2/2011
    I used these to open my garage door. They work as advertised.
    DAVID -- cambridge, MA   1/28/2011
    good product. i have three in use in my house for various purposes - acting as relay, detector, or both. some things that i would improve: first, in order to configure linking you need to push and hold the set button until you see an LED blink, but the button is positioned such that when you are pushing and holding it, your finger covers the LED (bad design shared with other insteon plug-in modules also). second, i would say reliability is "iffy" - i've had one of my three die on me. my oldest one is the one that died, so let's hope any reliability problems were linked to "first generation" product, as has been the case with some other insteon products.
    TOM -- watchung, NJ   1/28/2011
    Great Device. Using to contol garage doors.
    TODD -- san jose, CA   1/14/2011
    I use this to control my garage door opener. Works well. I wish they made one with dual contacts instead of having to buy two.
    GEORGE -- longmont, CO   10/24/2010
    I didn't realize the limitations of this unit - I should have purchased the unit with more contacts - (and I didn't realize this would trigger a mandatory upgrade of my control software)
    JOSEPH -- atlanta, GA   9/8/2010
    Not yet installed, but see no problems having it work to turn on my gas fireplace.
    GARY -- chilliwack, BC   8/29/2010
    A great unit that can be customized to your needs. I have hooked it up to our water pump fuse to email me when the fuse turns off. That way I can react to our water problem from where ever I am.
    RAYMOND -- boca raton, FL   8/10/2010
    Great products and service. Unfortunately the unit I received was defective but after calling their customer service, they called me back within minutes and handled the problem perfectly. Super customer service!
    ROB -- waterville, NY   7/28/2010
    Can take up to 30 seconds from Homeseer to close the relay.
    JOEL W -- albuquerque, NM   5/13/2010
    I am using this as a controller for my garage door. It would be better if SmartLinc could read the status of the input to show the status of the door.
