Just added an IOLinc to my Insteon network today to turn a PC on and off remotely.
I can control the relay, but I don't think the status is showing up correctly for the sensor.
I have a 5 volt relay which closes a circuit when the relay is energized. The circuit is connected to the IOLinc Sense and Ground connections. The 5 volt relay is powered by one of the pigtails on an ATX power supply, whose supply is switched.
When the Admin Console opens up initially, the sensor state reads correctly; it is "On". However, the sensor reverts to "Off" when the sensor is queried. It doesn't change after that.
What's wrong here? I'm assuming that the IOLinc's sensor will have an "On" state if the circuit is closed. As long as the circuit is closed, the sensor should keep that state.
I'm also assuming that the input and output ports are independent, unless someone specifies that they're linked in some way.
State info is really important. It ensures that extra button presses on a Keypadlinc button won't inadvertently turn a PC on or off when it doesn't need to be.
Any help would be appreciated!
