Essential info

  • Remotely monitor and control (open and close) your garage door using any Insteon controller (sold separately)
  • Includes sensors that provide status on whether the garage door is open or closed
  • Compatible with traditional 2-wire analog garage openers only - if your garage control button features a display panel, this kit is not compatible


How the Kit Works

I/O Module's output relay wires to your garage door motor just like your existing button, allowing you to remotely operate your garage. The included garage door sensor mounts to the garage door and is wired directly to I/O Module's sensor input. Receive instant alerts when using the Insteon Hub and running Insteon for Hub app (sold separately).

Do More with the I/O Module

Not interested in controlling your garage with Insteon? The Insteon I/O Module lets you monitor and control any low voltage devices such as alarm sensors, electric door strikes, and contact closures as part of your Insteon home automation network.

With one dry-contact sensor input you can control many Insteon devices throughout the house. Plus, use the built-in single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch and connect any low voltage-powered device for continuous or momentary operation. Create your own remote-control door lock using an electric door strike and power supply, or use a security sensor to turn Insteon controlled lights on or off. I/O Linc acts as a repeater for all powerline Insteon signals, is compatible with Insteon and X10 products, and has a pass-through outlet for other AC devices.

When controlling devices like pool valves, you have the ability to leave it on for an extended period of time, giving it plenty of time to fill the pool. As it approaches the desired water level, you can then remotely turn it off. For devices like electric door strikes, set the output relay to momentary, allowing you to open the front gate using an Insteon remote or controller.

Note: The included Insteon I/O Module (2450) communicates over powerline only, which may cause issues if you are trying to remotely operate your garage from Insteon devices on a different electrical phase (circuit) or from an Insteon Mini Remote
Recommend having at least one other dual-band device on the same phase to bridge the I/O Module with Insteon RF-only or Dual-band devices

shop acess

The unit was very easy to install. ( I have used the I/o module for other garage doors and monitoring the presence of water in my boiler room.. when moisture is sensed it causes water valves to be closed and emails are sent to me). The newest use of this devise is control of my shop garage door. This door provides access from the outside. Use my phone to open and close door. Email is sent indicating state of door and a camera monitors for backup. Insteon din relays control power to the door system for security. My other garage doors have worked flawlessly since 2016. Great product.

Item works perfectly - instructions hard to find or nonexistent

Item works without issue - sensor and switch setup was relatively straight-forward and linking to my Insteon hub was easy. The speed and consistency with which Insteon devices work and communicate continues to keep me returning for more as I expand the capabilities of my home automation. Instructions take a thorough read to get into the details and understand how to properly setting relay mode and duration.
Trying to find the described garage-door specific instructions noted in the documentation on the product page has turned up empty - some links no longer work, searching the support documentation only seems to turn up app documentation which is of no help for me.
Everything seems to work properly for my use case (it's just a low-voltage momentary switch after all), but I do wonder what I might be overlooking. Switch mode C is not what I need, and I suspect that it may just be a quick-start guide down this path I'm missing, but I may never know.

Third Garage Door control

This is the third one, others died probably due to a failed capacitor, lasts about 3 years or so, hopefully this new one is improved. Otherwise a good product, works great until it fails!

The I/O Module has had significant improvements over the past few years. The current shipping version 2.7 has no known issues. Feel free to reach out to support@insteon.com if you have any questions.

Works Fine

Installed quickly and works well. I installed it on the Hub 2 and simply followed the options for the opening method I wanted. Later, I installed in on my isy499i so I could use the after sunset lighting options when the door opens. Worked just fine on either.

Easy to install. Works great. Wish it could be linked with Alexa
