Insteon 2843-222 Overview

The INSTEON Wireless Open/Close Sensor is a magnetic contact sensor that wirelessly controls lights and appliances throughout your house via RF technology. The sensor can turn on lights, set the thermostat, or trigger a custom event in HouseLinc.

You can program any INSTEON device (available separately) to react when the magnetic contact is broken and re-established on the sensor. You can optionally connect an external contact closure sensor of any type (e.g., hidden contacts or doorbell button; not included).

The sensor works on a single AA battery (included). It stores all of its settings, such as links to other INSTEON devices, on a non-volatile memory, so they will not be lost when the battery is removed.

Note:
Features related to HouseLinc software are only available if you have the software installed (available separately).
