I am an Insteon Newbie and I'm just getting started.
I do have a number of questions which I will split up in their various topics.
I have successfully installed the Garage Insteon Kit using a magnetic contact sensor and the I/O Linc as the relay.
It operates correctly in as much as the Sensor reports On or Off and i can open and close the door remotely. What I find puzling is that in order to open or close the garage door I must "switch" the Relay (the I/O link) from On to OFff and then back to On again and the door will shut (or Open).
It is not a big deal, as if i'm away i can first check the sensor status and then do the on-off-on to close the door remotely but I feel I'm missing the difference between a relay and a switch. IS there a way to just click once to open and once to open?
Second question:
To program a simple program to notify me if the door is left open for more than 30 mins would this work?
If
Garage Sensor=Open
Then
Wait 30mins
Send Notification to All
Or am I missing a line that checks if the door is STILL open after those 30 mins?
Thanks
