I had the experience of purchasing some door/window sensors which I found not to be supported by ISY. I put that project asise, but am starting to come back around to it. Is there a formal, or informal listing of devices which are known to work with ISY? Thanks for any any assistance along these lines.

The follow Insteon sensors are compatible with the ISY. Both are battery operated.

 

2845-222  hidden door sensor

 

2843-222  Open close sensor

Since you posted in a Z-Wave section.

Are you looking for Z-Wave modules or the Insteon modules pointed out?

glacier991, which specific sensors do you have that are not supported?

Stu, I bought some sensors from monoprice that were not supported, they were z wave. I am not married to them being zwave, though I need external sensor vonnections.

Which specific sensors? brand? model number?

The Insteon 2843-222 Open/Closed Sensor.

Has a terminal block in it for an external magnetic switch.

Here is a link to the users manual. You can look at it and see it can be used for what you need.

I looked at the Monoprice site. I see they have a few models and they appear to be Z-Wave Plus.

For what its worth, if your application allows you to use the Insteon Hidden Door Sensor I prefer it over the Open/Close Sensor. The former produces an "invisible" installation and has demonstrated a very long battery life using lithium batteries. The latter, results in what I consider an ugly wall wart and, in my experience, is a battery hog. Others have not had the same experience with batteries and the Open/Close Sensor. Installation of the Hidden Door Sensor requires some work with a drill. Changing batteries is a bit of a pain with both but the Hidden Door Sensors have only required a change about once per year even in highly trafficked areas. I have no experience with Z-Wave.

I prefer fibaro sensors.
