Essential Info
Activate a scene in your home theater that will turn on (or off) INSTEON controlled lights and/or appliances when you power up an audio/video (A/V) component using I/O Linc - INSTEON Video Detector Probe Kit. This kit enhances your INSTEON network by using an Audio / Video Detector Probe to sense when an A/V component has been turned on. When power is sensed, the kit triggers INSTEON controlled devices to turn on or off. Now when you turn on a piece of your home theater equipment, an INSTEON signal will be sent to set the ambiance in the room by lowering lighting levels, turning on a ceiling fan and/or activating your HVAC system. Alternatively, you could use this kit in conjunction with an I/O Linc - INSTEON Remote Chime Alert Kit to monitor the TV usage of your children by receiving a chime notification whenever they turn their TV on. This versatile device is a great way to automate your home theater and has high impedance that will not affect picture or audio quality.

How it Works
Connect the composite RCA plug from the Audio / Video Detector Probe into the composite 'AUDIO OUT' or 'VIDEO OUT' of any A/V device such as a TV, cable or satellite receiver, VCR, CD player or DVD player. Connect the 1/8" plug from the Audio / Video Detector Probe into the 1/8" mini jack input on the bottom of I/O Linc. Plug the I/O Linc into an available non-switched power outlet then follow the proper procedure to link I/O Linc with other INSTEON controlled devices. Once the connected A/V device is turned on, I/O Linc will receive notification from the Audio / Video Detector Probe and trigger the linked INSTEON devices to turn on or off (depending on the state you linked them in).

Please Note: The Audio / Video Detector Probe will only trigger I/O Linc to turn a linked INSTEON device on or off when the A/V component is turned on; no action will take place when the A/V component is turned off.
