ahwman Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Is it possible to hook up a siren and activate it through an ISY-99i? If so, I would greatly appreciate an equipment list. I have Triggerlinc's attached to each of the doors in my house and receive a text message when an open is detected and also have IP camera's enabling me to get a sense of what's happening. It would be nice to have the ability to trigger an audible siren... Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment
LeeG Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 My security sirens are powered from 12V DC. They have a wail and solid tone function built in so all that necessary is to supply 12VDC. The Insteon 2450 I/O Linc relay has a 5A @ 30V capacity which is more than enough to switch 12V to a siren. To that list is a 12V DC power supply. There are wall warts that will handle that. I expect Radio Shack will have a small 12V DC power supply. The ISY would turn On the I/O Linc Relay (defined for latching mode) which will sound the siren until the I/O Linc relay is turned Off perhaps with an ISY Program so that the siren does not run for hours if no one is home.
