Input 16
The Input 16 is the central nervous system of your attraction. Sixteen isolated inputs in a single box, plus two relay outputs you can use for locks, small effects, or triggers to other systems. Buttons, footswitches, reed sensors, IR beams, RFID readers, escape room puzzle pieces, prop sensors — wire them all into one IgorBox and let Logic Rules do the rest.

| Storage | 32 GB onboard |
| Front panel | Status LED, RGB channel indicators, configurable front button |
| Power | 9–24V DC, center-positive barrel jack |
| Remote channel banks | Yes — input channels 9–12 and 13–16 can be hosted on other controllers |
Best for
- Centralized triggering — every sensor in your attraction reports to one box, and that box decides what happens.
- Escape rooms — wire all the puzzle inputs (buttons, magnetic switches, RFID readers, photo gates) and use Logic Rules to drive the puzzle. The two relay outputs are perfect for maglocks, "puzzle solved" indicators, or releasing a clue from a hidden compartment.
- Immersive games — counters, latches, sequence detection, random reveal logic — all without writing code.
- Show triggering — wire the start buttons, E-stops, and "next scene" inputs into one place; trigger shows on any other controller in your account.
Why 16 inputs in one box?
Putting all your inputs in one place changes how you design a show. With distributed inputs, you have to think about which controller "owns" each sensor and how triggers fan out across the network. With centralized inputs, you can treat every sensor as a global event.
For escape rooms in particular, this is a huge unlock: you can build the entire room's puzzle logic visually as a single rule, with all 16 inputs feeding into it.
The two relay outputs
The Input 16 isn't input-only. The two onboard relays (1.5A each) are perfect for the kind of low-amperage triggers and locks that go hand-in-hand with input-driven shows:
- A maglock that releases when the puzzle is solved
- A small mist effect or low-power LED indicator
- A trigger wire to a third-party show controller
For higher-power needs, target an Output 8 MKII or LED Controller from your Logic Rule and let those handle the heavy lifting.
Quick start
- Power it up with the included 12V supply.
- Connect to the network — Ethernet or WiFi. See Connectivity.
- Magic Provision — read the setup ID and add it in Studio.
- Wire your inputs and outputs — the wiring guide covers buttons, sensors, and the relay outputs.
- Build a Logic Rule — Logic Rules is the place to start.
Remote channel banks
The Input 16 can host its inputs on other controllers when wiring distance gets in the way. See Remote Channel Banks.
