Card Access InHome™Doorbell and Phone Event Package
Installation Guide / Wiring Diagram
for Control4®Automated Doorbell and Phone Circuits
Introduction
It hasn’t been very easy creating automation events for doorbell rings and telephone calls in the Control4®-automated
home… until now. The Card Access InHome™Doorbell and Phone Event Package (model number IDP10A) is an all-in-
one solution that makes it quick and easy to add doorbell and phone-based automation events in Control4-automated
homes.
With everything you need in a single box, the InHome Doorbell and Phone Event Package includes all the gear to create
events for one or two doorbells and one phone line:
•2 InHome Wireless Contact Switches
•1 North American External Power Supply (for optional DC powering of the InHome Wireless Contact Switch)
•1 ELK-930 Doorbell and Telephone Ring Detector
•Installation Guide / Wiring Diagram (information for automating doorbell and telephone circuits)
The Control4®Certified InHome Wireless Contact Switch operates on either two AA batteries or a low-voltage power
supply (included in the InHome Doorbell and Phone Event Package). This single, small device combines up to three
contact switches, two temperature sensors, and—when line-powered—a ZigBee™ (IEEE 802.15.4) repeater.
The ELK-930 Doorbell and Telephone Ring Detector detects ring activation from one or two doorbell buttons and a single
telephone line. It conveniently isolates the voltage and current and produces an open collector (pull to ground) output
which can be used to trigger the InHome Wireless Contact Switch. The ELK-930’s circuit board is pre-scored so that the
three individual detectors may be snapped off (separated) from each other.
Control4 Compatibility
!!! NOTE !!!: The InHome Doorbell and Phone Event Package has been tested and is designed to work with Control4
Software version 1.3.2. All necessary drivers for the Package are included in this Control4 version.

3. Using two jumper wires similar in gauge to the existing doorbell ringer circuit, connect pins 1 and 2 on the InHome
Wireless Contact Switch to the OUT and NEG terminals ELK-930Doorbell Ring Detector.
4. Using the included adhesive foam, mount the ELK-930 Doorbell Ring Detector to a location near the doorbell
ringer/transformer assembly.
!!! NOTE !!!: No enclosure is provided or required for the ELK-930Doorbell Ring Detector. You should exercise
caution and not place it in such as way as to short the ELK-930Doorbell Ring Detector’s printed circuit board
(PCB).
5. Using the included mounting screws and wall anchors, mount the InHome Wireless Contact Switch to a location
near the doorbell ringer/transformer assembly.
6. Using the Composer software, you can now add events around the ringing of the doorbell. Ideas for events
include the following:
a. Mute all audio zones for 5 to 10 seconds to allow occupants to hear the doorbell ringing
b. Flash the lights in rooms where it is difficult to hear the doorbell ringing
c. Activate an IP camera (not included) located at the door and use a camera preset to see who is there
