polexian Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Looking for a device that will allow me to run a speaker wire to it and then based on me by a kpl if it continues to run to the speaker or not. Joe
oberkc Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 While I have not attempted this, would not an EZIO40 suffice?
LeeG Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 If simple On/Off is all that is needed (not some form of balanced resistance) the I/O Linc Relay contacts should work. If more than one location will be controlled then one of the Simplehomenet devices that have multiple relays in the same device (EZIO4O has 4 relays as one example). There is also an IP controlled card that has relays which can be controlled through the Network Module. I have not used that card but there are several posts on this forum about it. Search for WebControl.
polexian Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 While I have not attempted this, would not an EZIO40 suffice? From Smarthome [scott] Hello joseph. Thank you for contacting Smarthome. My name is Scott. I will be assisting you today. [joseph] can i use EZIO40 to relay speaker sound? [scott] technically yes, BUT... you can get popping noises when it cycles. How many watts are being fed thru>? [joseph] 20 watts, but I don't want popping noises [scott] I would suggest a proper speaker switch ( http://www.smarthome.com/8855/ATON-DLA4 ... rol/p.aspx ) and if you get one with IR remote capabilities, you could use a 2411T to integrate with INSTEON
oberkc Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 That looks like a nice solution, if a bit pricey. Plus, it adds volume control. I may have to consider for my own use.
sperok Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 If you are buying or upgrading equipment you may want to consider a Sonos system. Using Network Resources you can control volume and other functions. This is a "deluxe" solution and is not inexpensive, but what you end up with is a multi-zone, internet-enabled music system that you can control (at least in a rudimentary way) from your ISY.
