I bought a "kit" of Insteon devices a long time ago. It included the IOLinc. It doesn't directly work with my garage door opener, but I hooked it up to a scavenged remote control and can now open and close the garage door using an Insteon mini-remote or the Insteon app.
Now I want to have a sensor for the garage door state. Is there anything special about the sensor that is included with the Insteon Garage kit? Or can I just use a magnetic contact switch that I have from my security system for the windows (I have a BUNCH of extra sensors from when I replaced a bunch that stopped working). If there is something special, how do I order it separate from the kit?
Also, when I operate the garage door from the app or a mini remote, I have to click "off" twice to get it to work. Is there a way that I can get it to operate with an "on" or "off" toggle?
