Chamberlain MyQ — in the I/O Linc

[Rapidway]

Here is a helpful solution that I set up for my newer type chamberlain MyQ overhead garage door opener. The way I understand is the I/O Linc is analog and the MyQ opener is digital so basically that’s why you can’t open your door connecting your Insteon device & UD Mobile /  Geofence. The attached photos will explain everything. Keep in mind you could run a long speaker wire to mount the wireless remote near the back door of your garage or any extended area from the Insteon Device. I hope this helps everyone…!

Excellent job.  

 

Just be careful what you use to control a GD.  

In my experience, the IO Linc reliability was not sufficient to connect to a GD controller, especially with a wall transformer right next to the IO Linc

Nice. I did exactly the same thing last year to interface my I/O Linc when I had to replace my old chamberlin opener.  I was not happy to realize they’d changed their opener system.  I have my hacked remote opener attached to the garage opener support bracket.

I had two Chamberlain GD openers. The first one gave my ISY system intermittent problems for ten year that I thought was my house electrical inverter. When I got the second GD opener with MyQ and battery backup, it crippled my whole Insteon  system from electrical and RF noise.

Two FilterLincs cured that problem.

I added a dual band lamplinc in the garage to help with signal reliability. Has been working fine.

Adding a dual band module. In the pass trough outlet is a good move as the I/OLinc is power line only. Adding the pass through module was recommended by Smarthome and now Insteon company.
