Initiate an INSTEON Signal when a Low Voltage Power Source is Sensed

Activate an automated scene in your home that will turn on (or off) INSTEON controlled lights and/or appliances whenever a device with low voltage power is turned on. This kit enhances your INSTEON network by using a Low Voltage Detector Probe to sense when power to a device (from 3V to 24V AC or DC) has been turned on. Once low voltage is sensed, a signal is sent to I/O Linc which in turn will trigger INSTEON controlled devices to turn on or off. This kit can be used in conjunction with relay type devices such as keypad access control systems to engage INSTEON scenes as you enter or exit. When a correct code has been entered on an access control keypad, allowing access through a gate, door, or garage door, the Low Voltage Detector Probe will be triggered when power is applied to the switched relay. You can use this kit in conjunction with a I/O Linc – INSTEON Remote Chime Alert Kit to have a audible signal sent, alerting you that a visitor has arrived – or simply create a lighting scene that will provide safety as you enter your home at night. This versatile kit can be used with almost any device that plugs into the wall with a low voltage power supply (provided it is between 3V and 24V AC or DC). Once the plugged in device is powered, the Low Voltage Detector Probe will sense and trigger an INSTEON scene.
