4 Output Telephone Controller

Operate a thermostat and/or other electronic devices in your home from any touchtone phone in the world using the Deluxe Telephone Controller. Whether used for your residence or vacation home, you'll love the convenience this telephone controller brings. If you ever forget to turn down the heat before you leave home, just pick up the phone and dial a code to put your thermostat into the energy-saving vacation mode. Or, if you are planning a weekend at your vacation home, simply make a phone call a few hours before you arrive and program the thermostat to resume normal operation. The Deluxe Telephone Controller is ideal for controlling other devices too, such as lights, automatic gates/garage doors and more. It has four-dry-contact relays that can be used with an X10 Powerflash Interface Module or an I/O Linc-INSTEON Low Voltage/Contact Closure Interface ( 1 In/1 Out ) to turn on lights or appliances. Once a hardwired connection is made between your phone line, the Deluxe Telephone Controller, and a thermostat or interface module, one phone call is all it takes to change the mode of your thermostat, turn lights on or off, and even open and close gates and doors.

Thermostats

Several thermostats are compatible with the Deluxe Telephone Controller including the Baseboard Thermostat and the Heat Pump LCD Thermostat. You can control up to four standard thermostats by using each of the four relays, including a 7-Day Programmable thermostat and Water Heat thermostat; a 12-volt DC power supply will need to be placed in series between the controller and the thermostats, which is easy to do.

Answering Machines

The Deluxe Telephone Controller is fully compatible with answering machines. Just call home, and let the phone ring once, and hang up. Call back within 30 seconds and the telephone controller will answer on the first ring. It also includes a one-touch key on the front panel to activate or deactivate each output.
