The World's First INSTEON Wireless Open/Close Sensor is the ideal solution for monitoring doors or window. When the magnetic contact of the sensor is broken, such as a door or window being open, it will send a wireless signal to INSTEON controlled lights and appliances, alerting you of the status change. Using INSTEON technology, it provides convenience by automatically turning lights on, energy-savings by ensuring they're turned off, and peace of mind by alerting users to a possible intrusion. "TriggerLinc is a welcome addition to our fast-growing line of INSTEON sensors," says Laurie Maroni Vice President of Marketing at SmartLabs, "It bridges the gap between limited proprietary alert systems and costly full-featured security systems by providing reliable, integrated alert and control, while still affordable even in today's economy."

INSTEON home automation technology provides customized control and communication of lighting and appliances throughout the interior and exterior of a home. INSTEON products let you create a network of controlled devices and scenes that make life convenient, fun and energy efficient.

GridPoint recently released GridPoint Platform 3.0 and announced that Hometown Connections, the utility services subsidiary of the American Public Power Association (APPA), selected GridPoint as its exclusive smart grid software platform provider to public power companies. GridPoint also intends to continue many of the IP equipment and system integrator partnerships that have been developed by Lixar to distribute its technology throughout North America.
