How to control 2 buttons with an IOLinc (Insteon) or Zwave?

[ketchup318]

Hi All

I am trying to use a remote control to control my roller shades. The remote control has two simple buttons; up and down. The buttons are activated when the contacts (for each button) are connected. I was thinking of using the IOLinc, for the buttons. I believe I would need to wire the COM to one side of the contact and the N/O to the other. That way when I activate the IOLinc, the COM and N/O would close, and thus connect the contact.

But this would require one IOLinc per button. Kind of a pricey way to control the shades. I was wondering if there's a slick way to use one IOLinc to control the up and down motion of the buttons. Or what other option I have to control the buttons. Is there a Zwave relay out there?

Thanks

Smartenit makes Insteon compatible modules. With multiple relay outputs or a mixture of multiple outputs and inputs. They would cost more than two 2450 I/OLinc modules.
