OmniPro ii has been working for several years no real issues, was working last week after I upgraded from ASUS router to a pfsense 4100 router/firewall. Had a pretty good storm (like allot of the country) and lost power for several hours, now the omnipro isnt sending any signals to my SA upb...

I thought I was one of the only ones to prefer my own collection rather than streaming or cloud everything, good to know there are others !

Thank You Pete_C,   I am just trying to figure out what to do by listening to what others have done, I appreciate your feedback and experience!  All I have is the equipment at this point (and Cat6) and will make my mind up when it comes time to install.   Thank You!!! Dustin

Hello,   I still consider myself new to HA & HAI & Russound so forgive me if this is right in front of my nose...  I have the HAI OPII and just got the Russound MCA-C5 (not installed yet) can I use just regular 4 wire cable (thermostat wire) for connecting the control pads MDK-C6 to the MCA-C5...

Hello All,   I have been looking at (amazon) the Russound KT2-C5 110V MCA-C5 Controller and 6 MDK-C6 Keypads, however there is another keypad that I have seen Russound MDKC6 C-series 2-gang keypad (non ERP compliant) what is the difference between the MDK-C6 and the MDKC6 C-series (non ERP...

Thank you to both, I have upstart and have had the switches installed and programmed for over a year before getting the OPII, I will check both things out and go from there, thank you for your help!   Thank you!!! Dustin

Thank you Desert_AIP,   They are Simply Automated switches. Another question, are there videos or something that can help me understand all the OPII can do? and then how to do it?   Thank You, Dustin

Hello All,    Very green and lost right now, I just got my OPII up and running and was able to get the pc access software connected to OPII.  Now what? at this point I dont know how to get my UPB switches into the pc access software?  I was under the impression that  my UPB switches would be...

no the power is not controlled by the relay, it is a gfci circuit that when you switch the power on tyou can hear the relay "clunk" on, if the gfci pops then you have no power, works just fine for everything except for discovery?

I do have a couple flourescents in the garage, but the switch in the garage is actually for the outside xmas lights, there is a relay that this switches on similar to a doorbell relay and that upb switch is the one I am not seeing in upstart.

I received the second phase coupler and installed it yesterday my signal strength definitely improved on most of my switches, still cant see the switch in the garage and actually my signal strength went down on a couple other switches?  I am keeping both of them installed as there is a benefit...

Thank you all for your responses, I should be getting two phase couplers in the mail today or tomorrow?  I will do some testing and write the results before I install and then after I install one then the other just to see what the gain is? Again, Thank You!

Thank You all for the responses, I feel confident now that I need at least 1 probably two converters.  

Hi Work2Play,   I too am in Placer county, the southwest end, I will send you a pm.   Thank You, Dustin

Hi and thank you for the replies.   I have performed the read all and network discovery function and it did discover most of my switches, however not all of them.  I will try to discover them in setup mode and see if it recognizes them after that.  the existing programming is/was still on the...
