Doorbell Trigger Options

Featured Replies

I based my input on the O.P. that stated:

 

"I'm aware that I might be able to use the Insteon Doorbell and Telephone Ring Kit with the I/O Linc. However, I really don't have an outlet to plug the I/O Linc into, without running a wire across the hallway. What I'm really interested in doing is using a TriggerLinc to be the trigger. "

 

Triggerlinc remote sensor current is 10 micro-amps. A 10 amp contact is totally inappropriate.

 

I guess I missed that or at least forgot about it after all the back and forth.

 

My bad.

Two things to consider if using the existing door bell button to control the I/O Linc Sensor. If it is a lighted door bell button either remove the bulb or get a new unlighted button. It may be useful to get a new unlighted button anyway if the door bell button has been in use for some time. It has been switching 24v AC at relatively high current flows compared to the milli-amp or micro-amp when shunting Sensor to Gnd. Also being outdoors the contacts may not be able to switch the 5v DC to Gnd reliably.

 

Very good points, neither of which I had considered.
