Features
Create a stronger, wider, and more robust Zigbee mesh network than
ever before using the Zigbee IO. Eliminate any network “dead spots” by
increasing the reach and density of your Zigbee mesh. Improve Zigbee
signal latency and provide your customers with higher reliability and
responsiveness as they use the devices connected to their Zigbee mesh
network.
The Zigbee IO (Z2IO) is a single device that combines the features of:
• Remote relays (up to two)
• Remote contact sensors (up to four)
• Remote thermistors (two)
• Internal contact (internal magnetic reed switch)
• Zigbee-to-IR converters
Any of these inputs can be used to trigger and control automated
events—such as sending an e-mail or turning on a cabinet light when its
door is opened—throughout the Control4 system.
With this device, you can reduce the need to run control wires over long
distances (or where you can’t run any wires at all).
As Zigbee to IR
The two 3.5 mm IR ports allow you to connect up to two standard IR
emitters to control any IR-controlled devices, such as TVs, DVRs, and
receivers.
When connecting IR emitters, make note of which port each emitter is
connected to (labeled “1” and “2”).
IR codes sent from the controller to the Zigbee IO are cached at the
device, resulting in faster IR control response times.

Note:
Y IR cables can be used, or IR cables can be spliced
together (in parallel, not in series), to increase the number
of controlled devices. Be aware that these connected
emitters cannot be controlled independently but will all fire
simultaneously from the shared IR port. Test to verify that
there is no crossover code functionality between devices
sharing the same IR port to avoid unwanted side effects.
As a contact and relay
The device has an internal contact along one edge that can be used to
detect open or closed states when installed with a mounted magnet. Up
to four contacts (besides the internal contact) or two additional relays,
or a combination of the two, can be used. Each option is outlined below
in “Contact and Relay Wiring Options,” and after it’s physically wired,
the correct option must be set on the
Properties
tab as outline further
below in the section “IO Options.”
As a relay
As a relay, this device provides wireless control of garage door
openers, window coverings, fireplaces, and pumps (along with other
relay control applications) inside or outside the home. It integrates
into Control4 systems as standard relays that can be opened, closed,
toggled, or pulsed.
The relay enables wireless control of any device controllable by one
or two low-voltage SPST relays or one simulated SPDT relay. These
functions appear in a Control4 system as relay outputs (relays) in
Composer Pro.
