+--- Thread: Using RIO as an alarm extension! (/thread-5321.html)
- Swiss-Toni - 07-15-2021
I know this is a convoluted way of creating an alarm function using a RIO but due to an inability to lay further wiring to an out building, would it be possible to connect an output of a RIO directly to a zone in comfort or would I have to use a relay from the RIO output to create a Zero voltage contact to connect to the Zone:
1) Preferred sequence: Sensor to RIO input. (secondary) RIO output to a Zone
2) Alternative sequence: Sensor to RIO input, (secondary) RIO output to a relay, relay to a Zone
This would be done on a Comfort 9000

You would need to use a relay from RIO Output to Comfort input, as RIO output when turned on doez not pull the voltage all the way to 0
