The Simplehomenet EZIO40 has four independently controlled relay outputs that will operate normally opened or normally closed contacts. The 4 dry-contact relay outputs allow you to control low voltage 120 Volt AC (up to .5 Amps) or 24 Volt DC loads. Each relay can be linked individually or with other the other relays on the device as a responder to a group command from an
INSTEON controller. The device also has a built-in powerline interface and acts as a repeater of powerline INSTEON signals. Additionally, a programmable timer can be set on each relay to force an off condition providing momentary action from 1 sec to 255 minutes. The simple press of a button from your INSTEON
KeypadLinc,
RemoteLinc or from your cell phone through a
SmartLinc, you can switch loads such as large relays, furnace heaters, blowers, chimes, momentary pushbuttons and more, the possibilities are endless.
While basic functions can be programmed manually, advanced functionality can be programmed with the
EZSrve, central automation controller. If you already have a central automation controller or a software package for your INSTEON network that doesn't have the correct parameters to program the advanced functionality of this device, you can download the free
Simplehomenet Utility Suite which works in conjunction with an INSTEON Powerlinc Modem (
2412U,
2413U or
2413S). If you need PC-free operation for simple timers, the SHN Utility Suite also interfaces with the
INSTEON Powerlinc Controller.
