Card Access InHome
for Control4

Introduction

It hasn't been very easy creating automation events for doorbell rings and telephone calls in the Control4
home... until now. The Card Access InHome
one solution that makes it quick and easy to add doorbell and phone-based automation events in Control4-automated
homes.
With everything you need in a single box, the InHome Doorbell and Phone Event Package includes all the gear to create
events for one or two doorbells and one phone line:
•
2 InHome Wireless Contact Switches
•
1 North American External Power Supply (for optional DC powering of the InHome Wireless Contact Switch)
•
1 ELK-930 Doorbell and Telephone Ring Detector
•

The Control4 Certified InHome Wireless Contact Switch operates on either two AA batteries or a low-voltage power
supply (included in the InHome Doorbell and Phone Event Package). This single, small device combines up to three
contact switches, two temperature sensors, and—when line-powered—a ZigBee™ (IEEE 802.15.4) repeater.
The ELK-930 Doorbell and Telephone Ring Detector detects ring activation from one or two doorbell buttons and a single
telephone line. It conveniently isolates the voltage and current and produces an open collector (pull to ground) output
which can be used to trigger the InHome Wireless Contact Switch. The ELK-930's circuit board is pre-scored so that the
three individual detectors may be snapped off (separated) from each other.

Control4 Compatibility

!!! NOTE !!!: The InHome Doorbell and Phone Event Package has been tested and is designed to work with Control4
Software version 1.3.2. All necessary drivers for the Package are included in this Control4 version.
