I have the 74451 garage door kit. I no longer want to use the controller to open and close the garage door. I want to use the controller to turn on and off a light. When the garage door opens the light goes on. The light will go off when the door closes. Can I get someone to give me some direction on how to convert the garage door opener to an on/off switch for a light?

I am using the insteon hub. I have disconnected the insteon garage door controller and went with another garage door controller. I am adding more light in my garage and thought about plugging my new light into my unused io controller. I want my light to turn on/off when the garage door open closes. I also have a garage door wall controller that has a light button on it. Can I somehow wire that button into the io controller as well?

You can't use the 2450 I/OLinc relay to control a 120 volt lighting circuit.
It has a maximum voltage rating of 30 Volts AC or DC for the relay.
The Sensor input for connection to a dry contact switch has a 5 volt sensing voltage on it. The garage controller has its own voltage on the wires to the lighted push button. It would probably cause damage to the 2450 I/OLInc Sensor Input or would cause the garage door controls to work incorrectly.
