Blackbird Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Just got it today and noticed that the wires are pre connected to the io but no indication on the wire of positive or negative. I take it that the com on the io needs to be connected to the com on the opener. Is this correct? Also do you wire it the same as the opener button Edited March 10, 2015 by Blackbird
stusviews Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 The I/O Linc contacts do not have a polarity. What you connect the COM and N/O contacts to depends on your garage door operator. What is your specific garage door operator and what is the model of the wall switch?
Blackbird Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 I will have to check. I know it is a genie and the button control has two buttons. One for the light and one to open and close the door. The wire that goes from the wall button and connects to the "push button" (red wire) and "com"
Blackbird Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Model number of my genie opener is 2020L
Blackbird Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Ok I got it working and everything seems fine but I have a few questions. First is, on mobilinc the door open read as door closed and door closed read as door open so I reversed the icon in mobilinc. Is this normal? Second when I open the door with mobilinc the relay stays on even after the door is open or closed until I click the icon again to turn it off. Is this normal? Does it matter if the relay stays on? Thanks

Second when I open the door with mobilinc the relay stays on even after the door is open or closed until I click the icon again to turn it off. Is this normal? Does it matter if the relay stays on? Thanks Both are normal. The door status depends on the type of reed switch used on the door (Normally open vs normally closed). The relay, assuming you are set using one of the momentary modes is normal as well. The relay turns on then off again after the delay you specified in the IOLinc options dialog. It simply does not send a status update to the ISY after turning off. You can test this: Open or close the door then issue a query against the relay, it will update to show off. Again, this is normal given that the relay portion of the IOLinc is a responder only device, it does not issue status messages and the ISY simply tracks the status based on what it last told the relay to do. Hope this helps. -Xathros
Cormacs Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I ran into the same problem when I installed my I/O link today. I created a simple program to fix the relay glitch. Just create a program as follows... "if garage door relay is on then wait 1 second longer then the momentary time set garage relay query. Works great Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Xathros Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 The IOLinc options have an option for how long the relay stays energized in momentary mode. Make your program delay 1 or more seconds longer than the selected momentary delay. -Xathros Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cormacs Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Exactly. By default it is 2 seconds so on my program I have the wait set for 3 seconds. It updates with the proper status every time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Blackbird Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Is it the momentary for the sensor or the relay or both? Currently both are set at 2.0
LeeG Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 The Timeout value applies to the Relay when in one of the momentary modes. There is no timeout for the Sensor. The Sensor is based on the magnetic switch state.
LeeG Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 If used in a Scene the Sensor must be a Controller (cannot be assigned as a Responder). If used in a Scene the Relay must be a Responder (cannot be assigned as a Controller).
Blackbird Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 The Timeout value applies to the Relay when in one of the momentary modes. There is no timeout for the Sensor. The Sensor is based on the magnetic switch state. I have the "momentary hold time" option for both relay and sensor
Blackbird Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 I have two posts about the garage kit. This one was intended for how to get it installed and my other post regarding the 8 button keypad and the garage kit is what I guess I need to be addressing.
LeeG Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I do not have two hold time fields. Can you post the Options display. I have never seen an I/O Linc with a Sensor timeout value. Edited March 11, 2015 by LeeG
Cormacs Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I believe the mistake you are making is assuming the options for the relay and the sensor are separate when infact they are the same dialog. When you click options under the relay it is the same as clicking options under the sensor. That momentary time is strictly for the relay regardless of which heading you select the option button, either relay or sensor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Blackbird Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 I posted a screenshot in my other posts regarding the 8 button keypad
LeeG Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 As Cormacs indicted the Options popup applies to the IO Linc as a device. Some options apply to the Sensor such a Trigger Reverse and Send X10, some options apply to the Relay such as Latching, Momentary A/B/C and Momentary hold time, some apply to both such as Program lock.
