Essential Info

TriggerLinc is the world's first INSTEON magnetic contact sensor that wirelessly controls lights and appliances throughout your house. When magnetic contact is broken, such as a door or window being opened, TriggerLinc can do things like turn on lights, set the thermostat to its comfort setting, or trigger a custom event in HouseLinc 2. Gain the peace of mind knowing that you'll be alerted when the back door sneaks ajar or the side window slides open. Useful for doors, windows, drawers, sheds, cabinets, and anything else that opens, TriggerLinc is a wireless, easy-to-use solution for adding convenience and awareness to any INSTEON-controlled home. An AA battery is required and included.

TriggerLinc controlling lights
How it works
In the example illustration above, TriggerLinc is mounted to a door frame and the included magnet attaches to the door. When the magnet is seperated from TriggerLinc (door opening) it sends a wireless RF signal to a plug-in Access Point (sold seperately) which in turn relay the signal over your existing power wires to turn on things like lamps or wall switches. When the door is closed, TriggerLinc turns those same lights off. While at least 1 Access Point is required when using an RF transmitter, at least 2 are recommended to ensure a reliable INSTEON network.

Required Accessories
An Access Point is required. Note: SignaLinc RF's do not work with INSTEON Wireless Open/Close Sensor.

Note: TriggerLinc does not transmit X10-compatible RF signals.

    How it Works
    Out of the box, TriggerLinc is set up to turn on a light (or other device) when your door is opened and off when the door is closed. This default setting is great for garage doors, sheds or closets where you want the lights to turn on when the door is opened and you can be sure the lights are off when the door is closed. TriggerLinc's second setting allows for a more custom type of control: Turn on (or off) one set of lights or devices when the door is opened and turn on (or off) another set of devices when the door is closed. For example, this feature provides uses such as:
    • Have lights turn on when you open the door, but leave them on when you close it
    • Have lights turn on to full bright when you open the door, and dim them to 50% when the door is closed
    • Plus many more
    TriggerLinc also contains an input for standard security sensors, so you can monitor many doors / windows from a single TriggerLinc.

    "Works great. I have mine installed on my garage door so that I don't leave it open at night. I use Indigo to check the status of the garage door late at night, and if it finds the door is open it sends me a text message and an E-mail, and also flashes my living room lights." - MACROPOD - WATERLOO, ON
    "What I was looking for was something to turn on a light when I entered the house. This almost does it. Being an electrical engineer, I was expecting to be able to program both edges of the device. In other words, I was expecting to be able to say what it does when I open the door, breaking the proximity field--transitioning from the closed state to the open state, and then what it does when I close it, making the field--transitioning from the open state to the closed state. It may be possible through to create a custom program for the sensor using your software... except that all of my computers are Macintoshes--one of them is now on Intel [I wasn't happy with Steve's decision, then neither Motorola nor IBM learned how to manage power on the chip], so there might be an experiment I could try--it is just that I am put off by the vulnerability of all things Windows. Bill was after the money and never stopped to think about what he was doing [oh, we can just fix it in post], and then things became very big and very complicated and very hard to change--it happens when you're young. Your designers decided that the sensor should turn off the controlled device when transitioning from the open to the closed state. What this means in a practical sense is that, while the entry door is open and the light is on, I need to physically locate the remote so that I can turn the light back on when I close the door. In considering this issue, I guess what I would really like to do is something more sophisticated. I would like to be able to control the behavior of the sensor when the door closes. In other words, when I leave the house I would like to be able to tell the sensor to turn off the light when I close the door this time and then do nothing on subsequent door closures. When I prepare to leave the house, I could tell the sensor to express this behavior by pressing a button on the remote. For entering and exiting interior rooms, it is desirable for the sensor to express the "turn the light on when I open the door and turn it back off when I close the door" behavior. I believe this programming is well within the capabilities of the Insteon system. You would need to add a feature to this particular sensor. The primary challenge would be keeping the setup simple." - RICHARD B. - COLORADO SPRINGS, CO
    "Consider locations prior to mounting. I found the best was at the top of the door on the outside as it allowed contact to turn the light off without having to completely close the door." - JEFF - RALEIGH, NC
