Can the sensor and/or relay side of an I/O Linc be controlled using an ISY program? Can I send an 'On' or 'Fast On' command to the i/o linc sensor through the program to simulate the sensor being activated as if through a wired sensor input? In a similar light, can I send on 'On', 'Off', etc. command through a program to the i/o linc relay address in ISY to activate any low voltage device I have wired to the output side of the i/o linc?

Relay, Yes - It is a responder type device.

 

Sensor, No - It is a controller only device. It cannot be turned on/off via a command. It Sends On/Off commands to responders/ISY PLM.

Thanks for the info. I have need to use the insteon wireless water sensors to control the Floodstop automated water valve closing products. Output from the I/o linc does in fact activate the Floodstop controller and close the valves. Programming the control of the I/O Linc through the ISY was simple. Thus a simple Insteon wireless water sensing solution for the the Floodstop product.

kstock - i just installed a number of the wireless leak sensors and will be installing a few floodstop devices. How did you activate the floodstop with the iolinc? Did you connect the N/O relay to the sensor input of the floodstop? to the valve close button leads?.

luckyp62--I just scanned down and saw your post/question today. Did you get your Floodstop devices communicating with Insteon? If not and if still interested, I can go through how I have my system set up and wired.

I'm looking into buying the whole-house floodstop. It says in the Smarthome page that it is Insteon compatible, but can I add it to ISY for programs and notifications?

 

Thanks!

The Flood Stop itself is not Insteon. The Flood Stop has NC contacts that can control an I/O Linc Sensor for example. The I/O Linc can be added to the ISY with the Sensor state triggering a Program or Scene just as a garage door would.

Thanks LeeG, now I think I understand!.

 

So, if a remote sensor detects a leak, it communicates with the Floodstop main controller. The main controller closes the water valve, and also triggers the I/O Linc sensor, which is seen by ISY. I think I may be getting this system to monitor my flood danger areas.

 

I have the ELK M1 also, but the flood detector for the ELK is not wireless as far as I know.

 

Thanks!
