Is there a way to connect a washing machine to ISY 99i/994i?

[ferdies]

We have been heavily using ISY voice in our configuration using Networking Module, be it announcement that a specific door is open or not, weather information in the morning, and so on.

 

I have used the following as a reference.

One of the programs I am thinking of is an annoucement, as suggested by my wife, to alert us that laundy is completed. In line with this, I would like to know if there is a way to connect a washing machine to an ISY? Will an I/O Linc work for this? If yes, what is the best way to connect it.

 

Appreciate other suggestions.

 

Thanks.
