When the Insteon Garage Control & Status Kit is used with the Insteon Hub (2245-222), you will always know whether you forgot to close the garage door. If you already own an Insteon Hub (2245-222) and want to add garage door control, this kit gets you everything you need to get you controlling the garage door from your smartphone. This kit includes an Insteon I/O Linc (2450), magnetic contacts to detect whether the door is open or closed, and plenty of wires for interfacing the IOLinc to your garage door opener. In addition, this kit allows control and status from Insteon Keypads (such as model 2334-232). **IMPORTANT** this kit is compatible with traditional 2-wire garage door openers that DO NOT have a panel display. Also, the I/O Linc communicates via powerline only, which may require additional Insteon devices or Insteon repeaters for smaller systems. ## Features - Remotely monitor and control (open and close) your garage door using any Insteon controller (sold separately) - Includes sensors that provide status on whether the garage door is open or closed - Compatible with traditional 2-wire garage openers only - if your garage control button features a display panel, this kit is not compatible - Can be used without an Insteon Hub (2245-222) - included Insteon I/O Linc module (2450) communicates over powerline only, which may cause issues if you are trying to remotely operate your garage from Insteon devices on a different electrical phase (circuit) or from an Insteon Mini Remote - Recommend adding a Range Extender (2992-222) on the same phase to bridge the I/O Linc module with Insteon RF-only or Dual-band devices ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | Insteon | | Part Number | 74551 | | Item Weight | 1.05 pounds | | Product Dimensions | 6 x 4 x 8 inches | | Item model number | 74551 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Color | White | | Style | Garage Door Kit | | Material | copper | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Mounting Type | Panel Mount | | Special Features | Easy to Install | | Usage | Commercial/Residential | | Included Components | 1.5mm flathead screwdriver (1x) + Quick Start Guide (4x), 30 Foot 2 Conductor, 22-Gauge/AWG Interconnect Wire (1x) + 10 Foot 2 Conductor, 22-Gauge/AWG Interconnect Wire (1x), I/O Linc (1x), Insteon 74551 Garage Door Control & Status Kit (1x), Magnetic Contact Sensors (1x) | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Description Pile | Lithium | | Warranty Description | 2 year manufacturer, limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Insteon - **Special Feature:** Easy to Install - **Color:** White - **Max Number of Supported Devices:** 1 - **Compatible Devices:** Smartphone ## Images ![Insteon Garage Door Control & Status Kit, for Standard 2-Wire Button Controlled Garage Motors, 74551 - Insteon Hub Required for Smarthphone Control and Alerts - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610i0GReXGL.jpg) ![Insteon Garage Door Control & Status Kit, for Standard 2-Wire Button Controlled Garage Motors, 74551 - Insteon Hub Required for Smarthphone Control and Alerts - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41cxd340nvL.jpg) ![Insteon Garage Door Control & Status Kit, for Standard 2-Wire Button Controlled Garage Motors, 74551 - Insteon Hub Required for Smarthphone Control and Alerts - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415esb5LF6L.jpg) ![Insteon Garage Door Control & Status Kit, for Standard 2-Wire Button Controlled Garage Motors, 74551 - Insteon Hub Required for Smarthphone Control and Alerts - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aggoU1ewL.jpg) ![Insteon Garage Door Control & Status Kit, for Standard 2-Wire Button Controlled Garage Motors, 74551 - Insteon Hub Required for Smarthphone Control and Alerts - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sBFiiEnyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, easy install, make sure settings are correct *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2015* i set this up last night and it worked right away with no issues. As another reviewer stated, the kit comes with the plug in relay control, non contact proximity switches and wire. You have to have an Insteon hub for any Insteon product.The wires are pretty easy to install. You have to determine if your garage door runs with a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) loop. Almost all run with a normally open push button switch. All this device does is momentarily mimic the button being pushed by the relay closing the circuit when it gets the command. That being said, this is where the settings come into play.On the iOS app, you can designate how long that button push is from 0.2 sendings to 120 seconds. Mine worked perfect at two seconds. If you have problems, check there. This should be the same amount of time that you actually press the button on the wall for the garage door to operate.This device could actually be used to control anything that can be controlled by a momentary push button switch.The sensor position and alert does not have any bearing on the operation and does not need to be installed. I did install it because it's a nice little insurance piece.I have to park one of my cars in the driveway and I don't want to have to remember to take the garage door opener out every time I park. I don't want to give a thief a key to the garage.So far, so good. I will update this review if the thing fails or problems arise. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars I have other Insteon products and I love them, but the customer service is extremely poor *by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2016* I've purchased 2 of these. The first one was defective, took at least, probably more, than a couple of dozen times to connect. When it finally did connect it kept dropping. Contacted customer support and after 10 days they responded after I sent the original one back and said to try to plug it in the same outlet as the hub, which I said I did in the help ticket. I received a 2nd one and it connected on the first try, but i was having issues setting it up. After being on the eternal hold and support tickets to help me with my issue, 14 days later I've yet to receive a response. I have other Insteon products and I love them, but the customer service is extremely poor. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good if you want some peace of mind *by H***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018* Word of caution: DO NOT expect to be able to remotely control your garage door with only this kit! You need to have an Insteon hub installed in your home for this kit to fully function. Ok, now that's out of the way, here's my review:This perfectly fits my needs since it allows me to control and monitor my garage door with my iPhone and iPad (via the Insteon for Hub app). Functioning the garage door via your mobile device is easy, you either hit "On" or "Off". The only quirky thing about this is that either command operates the garage door whether the door is open or closed. Don't expect "On" to only open the garage door. It'll either open or close the door depending on whether it was already opened or closed. Likewise for "Off", it operates exactly like "On". This is why it is essential to have the magnetic contacts installed correctly. The Insteon app will let you know whether the contacts are close or far apart from each other. In my setup, when the contacts are far apart from each other (i.e. door is open), the status is Red in the Insteon app. When the contacts are in close proximity to each other, the status is Gray in the Insteon app. Just in case, I have an camera setup in my garage door so that I can visually see if the door is closed or not. This isn't necessary, but another peace of mind to have in case something goes wrong with the contacts. I've had this kit for a little over two years and nothing has malfunctioned on me as of yet. My kit is used to operate a Chamberlain Liftmaster 1345M 1/3 HP garage door opener, which was fairly simple to setup. If you have a more sophisticated garage door opener, setup may be a bit more complicated.The kit basically has two major components, the I/O Linc, which is what you plug into the power outlet next to the garage door motor and a set of magnetic contact sensors, which you setup at the garage door. Installing the kit took me a good 2 hours. This includes me reading the instructions and trying to make sense of how everything works together. However, if you're already savvy with this stuff you could probably install everything within 30 to 45 minutes. Getting the magnetic contacts positioned was probably the most challenging part for me. I chose to install one contact on the top of my garage door and the other on the wall right above the garage door. The mistake I did (multiple times) was installing the top contact (the one that gets attached to the wall) too close to the top of the garage door. The problem with this is that the garage door sheared the contact off the wall when I opened it. You'll need to find that optimum distance on the wall so that the garage door can clear the contact when it opens. Instructions say the space between the contacts can be up to 1/2". Well, in my case it's about 1", so don't be scared to go a little over if you need to. Also, I didn't want to drill into my garage door to mount a contact on to it. Instead, I used some Scotch mounting putty to keep the contact in place (works like a charm). The cables from the contacts to the I/O Linc are excessively long, but that's not a bad thing, better to have too much than too little. I didn't have a staple gun to secure the cables to the ceiling, so I used monkey hooks instead. It was pretty easy using the hooks and it makes for a cleaner job also (in my opinion). Connecting the I/O Linc was fairly simple as well. I unplugged the garage door opener from the outlet, plugged the I/O Linc in, and plugged the garage door opener power into the I/O Linc. From there, I attached the wires from the I/O Linc terminals into the garage door opener's terminals. I included a photo of this. After all of this was done, I followed the instructions to sync everything up. To be exact, here are my setting in my iOS device:On Alert switched OffOff Alert switched On - This sends me email and iOS notifications every time my door is openedMonitor and Display Sensor Status switched OnMonitor and Display Relay Status switched OffRelay Mode - Momentary selectedMomentary Duration - 2 SecondsRelay Commands - "On or Off closes the relay" selectedSensor Triggers Relay - NoCheck Sensor Before Triggering - NoSensor Sends - "On when closed" selectedAll in all, this is a great product. It may be a challenge to install if you're not familiar with it, but in the end, it'll be well worth the effort. Being able to check on your home while away is awesome, especially when you’re on travel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/3568460-insteon-garage-door-control-and-status-kit-for-standard-2](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/3568460-insteon-garage-door-control-and-status-kit-for-standard-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
