scote Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hi, I have an Insteon I/O linc that I am using on a garage door. When the relay status is off in the UD Mobile App, I click ON and the door opens fine. To close the door, I have to click OFF and then ON to get it to close. Any suggestions on how I can make the ON button open and/or close the door? My insteon device is set to Momentary B. Thanks, Scott Link to comment
Javi Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hi @scote, Are you referring to the UD Mobile toggle or the buttons "on" and "off". Due momentary setting you may need a workaround. The door should open/close when ever the "on" button is pressed. Is this correct? The toggle will only send the "on" command if the status is "off". Is this correct? If you are using Favorites then edit the favorite to type command then add a command which turns this device "on". Now when pressing the favorite the "on" command is sent every time. See the custom toggle for an example of how to setup a Favorite Command Type. This situation is simple so no Program is needed. https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=UD_Mobile#Favorite_Custom_Toggle Link to comment
scote Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 HI, Yes, I would like the door to open/close when the "on" button is pressed. Yes, the toggle only sends the "on" command when the status is "off". I set the favorite to type command but it still does not work. With the link you send, do I have to create a program?

scote Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 I created a program to set the relay status to "off" after every click. That works fine. Is there a way in UD Mobile to set it to "off" without a program? Link to comment

scote Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Sorry for the confusion but these hard devices are hard to work with. There is a relay that controls opening and closing. There is a sensor that shows the status of the open/close. "Off" = "Open" and "ON" = "Closed". I have a program that sets the relay to "OFF" after every click. That works on one door. For some reason the same program does not fire when I click the button in UD mobile for the second door. I resynch etc and the program still does not work for the second door. When for the second door, I try the command, it sets the relay to OFF but it does not open or close the door. I am doing something wrong there. If I can get the second program working, things would work fine. Thank you for your help with this issue! Link to comment
Javi Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 The Favorite of Type Command needs the Sensor as the Display Node and the Relay as the Command. So the favorite tile will show the status of the sensor then when clicked will trigger the relay. 1 Link to comment
scote Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Thank you Javi! This works perfectly now. I will delete the program I had for the other door and use this method instead. I appreciate the help!!! 1 Link to comment
kzboray Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) @scote This is how I have my garage door setup with UD Mobile. It's basically an I/O Linc. Edited July 5, 2023 by kzboray 2 Link to comment
scote Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Thank you @kzboray I can now set labels to "Open" and "Closed" with mapped values. Looks great now! I appreciate all the help! Link to comment

This process Links 2 or more nodes/programs/etc to a single tile. If a device is not working/communicating this process will not work. Link to comment

The I/OLinc is a power line only module. If you have a new noise maker on the power lines or a device sucking up the power line signal. You can get no communication to it. If you have a spare dual band module. You could test communications with it in the pass through outlet on the front of the I/OLinc. Another thought is a filter capacitor. That module also has a switching power supply and has the same problem like the PLMs have had. 1 Link to comment
