Miscellaneous INSTEON Devices
This page is dedicated to those miscellaneous INSTEON devices that don't fit into any other category. If you have an interesting How-To for one of these devices, feel free to sign up for an account and write one up - others will definitely appreciate your expertise!
EZSnsRF Dakota Compatible RF Receiver
This device, from Smartenit, allows you to use Dakota Alert Series 3000 transmitters. If you're creating your own security system, these may be quite helpful.
EZSwitch 30 Amp High Current Switch (Relay)
This device is used to control appliances that require heavy loads (water heaters, air conditioners, etc.).
EZX10RF X10 RF to INSTEON Receiver
This device allows you to bridge X10 remotes and your INSTEON network, enabling the use of less expensive X10 remotes. To set up an EZX10RF with Indigo, you will need to follow the EZX10RF instructions to link the X10 command to the EZX10RF, and then the EZX10RF to the PowerLinc. You'll need to press the “Send PowerLinc Button Press” button in the EZX10RF's “Edit Device” dialog where it says to press and hold the set button on the INSTEON device to be controlled (step 3 the last time the instructions were checked).
Once you've done that, when the motion sensor sends an ON, you'll get a message in the log from each of your motion sensors that look something like this:
Received INSTEON "Your EZX10RF name here" on (button 1) Received INSTEON "Your EZX10RF name here" off (button 1)
The button number refers to that specific motion sensor - it should increment for each motion sensor you add so keep an ordered list of the motion sensors you add. You can then trigger events off the button numbers as you would for any other controller.
In-OutletLinc (Relay)
The OutletLinc is a wall outlet that's controllable via INSTEON, very similar to an ApplianceLinc, so like other relay modules they share some common tasks:
