jblackst5000 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) When I added my Insteon I/O Linc to my ISY it created a Sensor and Relay. My question is when my garage door is closed should the status of the sensor be "On" and the status of the Relay be "Off". I asked eKeypad and he said the status of the Relay should be "Open". When I log into my ISY with the Control Console it shows the status of my Garage Door Relay is "Off". Does that translate in being "Open". I am confused. I hope someone can explain this to me. Thanks, Edited September 3, 2020 by jblackst5000
keepersg Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Assuming you have the I/O Linc connected to a sensor which reflects the status of the door, the I/O Linc will reflect the actual status. My garage door sensor is mounted on the floor of the garage with a magnet mounted on the door. It's made for that application. When the door is closed, the sensor is Off. When open, its On. The relay on the I/O Linc is set to Momentary B and acts like the push button on the garage door. Doesn't matter if it's on or off. Either signal closes the relay momentarily and activates the door. My setup is a bit more complicated since it's a Chamberlain and can be and is controlled by the MyQ node server and involves a modification of the door's push button as the signal to the opener is not just a simple contact closure. Hope that helps.
