About the INSTEON Garage Door Control and Status Kit
This handy kit lets you open and close your garage door with any INSTEON home automation controller. Mount the included magnets and sensors around your garage door frame, wire the included I/O Linc module into your garage door motor, and link to your controller. You'll also be able to monitor the status of any connected door. Tie the kit into your existing INSTEON automation scheme, and you can trigger other events — like interior lights coming on to welcome you home — when the garage door opens.
Note: Apple Watch owners can control INSTEON home automation modules with the free INSTEON Apple Watch app.
What else can you do with an INSTEON home automation system? The better question might be what can't you do. It's an easy-to-install, web-based system that lets you interact with various devices in your home using your smartphone or tablet of choice. Best of all, it's fully modular and customizable with a wide range of add-on sensors, dimmers, switches, cameras, and more, so you can custom-tailor your system to your specific needs.

Features
Overview: The Insteon Garage Door and Status Kit lets you remotely open and close your garage door using an Insteon controller. It also allows you to monitor the status of your garage door, alerting you when it is opened or closed. The kit includes an I/O Linc low-voltage contact closure interface which wires directly to your garage door opener.
Operation: The Insteon Garage Door and Status Kit works with the Insteon Starter Kit or other Insteon kit that includes the Hub. Using your smartphone or tablet with the Insteon app from virtually anywhere, you can check to see if your garage door has been left open or closed. You can also remotely close the door when you're sure it's safe. (Safety beam devices and/or cameras may be required by law when remotely closing a garage door.)
Installation: The I/O Linc monitors the garage door status via the use of a magnetic sensor mounted to the door frame (and the magnet mounted to the garage door). The I/O Linc plugs directly into a 3-pronged AC outlet, and provides a pass-through outlet on the front. The wires for the door sensor and garage door motor are already attached to the I/O Linc.

Very easy to install. Had to purchase an insteon range extender for it to work in the garage. I'm able to open and close my garage door using my phone in a emergency (need to have the insteon hub to use a phone).
