Could someone advise me as to the best way, in InControl to monitor the status of simple, binary contacts like would normally be used to trigger motion on a normal motion detector? I guess the device type would be a BinarySensor, but how does one tie this to InControl? I thought I might find a Zwave device like a relay, but in reverse, but no luck there. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Mark.

I think I answered my own question, elegantly, using Wemo which is what I am using. The standard Wemo switch comes with everything required to be fired remotely by an external switch, which is what the contacts I want to monitor would be. So, I can simply connect the contacts to the remote control of the Wemo switch and let it turn Wemo on/off as required. InControl can monitor this just fine. I haven't actually proven this yet.
