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.

    BILL -- carmichael, CA   4/12/2013
    I used this to extend the control of an existing switch for its switched wall outlets. To the existing switched outlet, I added an old 12VDC laptop power supply, connected to the coil of a reed relay from FRY's. The normally open contacts connected to the INSTEON 2450, which sends the on/off commands to X10 lamp modules across the room. This save hundreds of dollars to get the remote outlets wired to the wall switch.
    DOUG -- rcho sta marg, CA   4/4/2013
    Love the product however I have quality concerns... this is my second purchase of the unit as my first one just died. This always seems to happen months after warranty expiration. I have gone through three SmartLinc's as well due to failure over time.
    JAMES E -- ludington, MI   3/29/2013
    Using it with a magnetic proximity switch on the garage door. Works great.
    JOEL -- las vegas, NV   3/10/2013
    Works great. I use it for my garage door in conjunction with a wireless camera.
    -- frankfort, KY   1/11/2013
    This thing is pretty cool. I coupled it with a pressure mat and now it turns on a night light for 5 minutes if you step on the pad in the middle of the night.
    RICHARD -- beavercreek, OH   12/27/2012
    Works just like you said it would.
    DAVID -- perrineville, NJ   12/23/2012
    Easy to install. Good instructions.
    JAMES -- troy, NY   12/14/2012
    I attached to the output of my sensaphone 400 installed in my Florida condo along with an appliance module to which my router is plugged in. I can now reboot my router when it locks up from 1000 + mile away. Great product.
    DENNIS -- waterford, WI   12/9/2012
    I tied this together with the Aleph America FS-3101 Fluid Level Sensor to monitor my sump pump well. I hope that I never find out how well it works.
    CHEN -- topeka, KS   12/9/2012
    Works great for the garage door with KeypadLinc single button using mode two. Wish if it has more than one input and one output. Cheaper if you buy separate magnetic switch for the garage door.
    GEORGE -- bel air, MD   11/10/2012
    Product works very reliabily. I would not recommend using it for critical functions, but I used several together to create an alarm system for my home.
    RONALD -- albuquerque, NM   11/2/2012
    OK replacement for discontinued X-10 module but at a higher cost.
    GEORGE -- bel air, MD   10/28/2012
    Works as advertised! A little hard to program unless you are a bit technically savy.
    FRED -- colorado springs, CO   10/27/2012
    Works like a charm for monitoring and controlling my 3 garage doors upstairs. Used to have to run downstairs to visually verify the doors were closed at night and during the summer months when bears like to come in and raid the garbage cans. Cute but kind of a pain to clean up after.
    GARRY -- port alberni, BC   9/27/2012
    Works great.
    PHILIP -- malibu, CA   9/20/2012
    Works as expected and flawlessly. I had no problem integrating into my ISY based home automation system.
    JAMES -- troy, NY   9/3/2012
    Excellent quality, simple to set-up, strong connection with linc devices even if both on surge suppressor
    MATT -- poughkeepsie, NY   8/5/2012
    I used this to pick up the signals from a ELK-930 Doorbell trigger. Works great and bridges the doorbell to Homeseer thru Insteon. The instructions could have been a little better for wiring but nothing that couldn't be figured out searching.
    STAN & -- rochester, NY   7/29/2012
    Not yet tested. Interface input could be improved to respond to a voltage, e.g. 5VDC, input.
    D. R. -- chesapeake, VA   7/21/2012
    The switch is working as described. The Insteon software is poorly designed and not at all user friendly.
