I have Alexa control things via the ISY Portal. And, a couple simple ISY programs automatically open the curtains a few minutes before sunrise and close them a few minutes after sundown. A two-track curtain system would have two motors so you'd need two I/O Lincs (or two MIMOlite-type devices, if you use Z-Wave) -- one for each track -- and each track would operate separately. -Randy Couldn't you tie the 2 rails together, and have them both use 1 io? I ask this because I have a CL200 (I suspect that the same manufacturer makes yours, and mine but with different models). I have 2 10'curtain rails...one for the left, and the other for the right, and I hope to be able to use 1 2450 to open and close both. Any tips would be helpful. Did you have to buy the relay board or could you have directly hooked up to the 2450?

Did you have to buy the relay board or could you have directly hooked up to the 2450? The obvious purpose of two separate i/o is to move the curtains separately. I have 2 racks, one sheer curtains and one black-out curtains. I would not want to move these together. I currently use 2 Zwave Mimo-Lite's but these do not have status reporting and I am waiting for confirmation that the Mimo-2 is compatible with ISY 5.0.14 and that it has status reporting.
