Dry contact zone output without additional relay

Smart Home & API

I have an Insteon based automation setup and would like to trigger an IOLinc with the Rachio3 from a single zone without adding a secondary relay.

Does the Rachio use standard or solid state switching?

Can I use the -24VAC terminal and Zone 1 terminal to get a dry contact closure?

I would use the output to either pull up or pull down a 5v signal to the IOLinc sending a trigger to my ISY automation controller. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Rachio uses solid state switching (triacs). Without an adequate AC voltage, these output would not activate / stay latched.
