Multi-contact Insteon module

[mgscott]

I am planning to replace my aging (and unreliabl;e) X10 automation system with Insteon and don't seem to be able to find modules with more than a single contact closure / single relay interface.
 
I would like to have at least two inputs for part of my system.  What I have is a sensor for the garage door closing and another to detect if my car is in the garage (photo-interruptor).
 
Basically, what I do is, if the door is closed with the car present, assume I am home (stops running interior lights for "lived-in" look).
If door closes without car, assume I'm away.
 
It would also be nice to read the door closed independently as well as controll the open/close (relay contact).
 
Is there a way to accomplish this without having two IOLinc devices?  Is there anything like a microcontroller proto kit that would let me "roll my own"?

Here's a 4 input / 2 output model: http://www.castleos.com/store/smartenit_ezio_4_input_2_output_relay_load_controller_for_insteon-details.aspx

The Smartenit devices are pretty much your only option. There are a variety available. http://smartenit.com/shop/insteon_x10/

They are a little tricky to work with. If you are using some kind of hub/controller device, check that it supports them.

Wow.  Thanks for the quick responses.  I'll check them out.
