13.11.2 Linking an I/OLinc – Garage Door Control & Status Kit
60
13.11.2.1How to add the SmartHome I/O Linc - INSTEON Garage Door Control & Status Kit (74551)
In this tutorial I will be demonstrating how to control and monitor a Garage Door using
keypad buttons on two separate KeypadLinc controllers. You can open or close the garage
door using either keypad, with the button providing positive feedback that the command is
being sent by flashing a few times. After this, the real-world status of the garage door will
be indicated by the light on the button. When the door is open, the keypad light will be on.
You must update your ISY-99i to firmware 2.7.4 or greater. This firmware addresses an
issue with the I/OLinc not showing the correct status after a Query and other issues related
to the I/OLinc.
•
Create a scene called Garage Door Relay. Add the KeypadLinc buttons as controllers
and I/OLinc Relay as the responder. You can add as many controllers as you like.
•
Create another scene called Garage Door Sensor. Add the KeypadLinc buttons as
responders (you won’t have a choice if you did step 1 correctly) and the I/O Linc
Sensor as the controller. This will allow the sensor to control whether the button is
lit or not, giving positive feedback as to the status of the garage door.
Figure 216: Scenes
Since you are controlling a relay, you need to set the On Level for each button and the scene
to 100%. You will also need to change the toggle mode of the KeypadLinc button to Non-
Toggle [On] so that it only sends the ON command when pressed.
•
In the Garage Door Relay scene select each controller and be sure the On Level in the
view pane is set to 100%. Also, set the On Level for the scene itself to 100%.
