    multiple upb networks

        i do have some noise, and currently yes the phase coupler is on the main breaker, but i have two main breakers and also a sub breaker, but i was afraid that I could make it to where my pim couldn't reach some devices if I coupled wrong, is that possible?    i never thought about the turning...

    multiple upb networks

      they did tell me that but i have tried unplugging everything that is easy to get to and no luck and most of the problem is a signal strength problem, plus stuff being on opposite phase which i can't understand if i have a phase coupler.   i bought a noise blocking device thing, but homeseer...

    multiple upb networks

    Is it easy to have multiple upb networks in one house and then have homeseer connect to thos multiple upb networks.   currently in my house i have about 80 dimmers but because of the size of the house 8000 square feet and the fact that it's a huge remodel, some switches I just cannot hit all...

    RadioRA 2 Switch Choices

    i was interested in radiora 2 but i heard from a installer friend that they can mess up wifi in the house, because they are very diligent about getting a good connection and they broadcast on the same frequency as wifi.   any truth to that?   I'm also getting rid of upb, but I was thinking...

    z wave switches

    i have a good 20 switches that have no neutral, plus they are extremely difficult to get access into the fixture, so that's why I am going this route. I am disappointed because the switches will not match. i looked at the relay module but they just won't work because no access.

    z wave switches

    yeah i saw on the website, but the two switches on that site that don't need a neutral neither come in black.

    z wave switches

    so i have my 80 upb switches in now and I have discovered about 20 more switches that have no neutral, so I guess I need some zwave switches because they seem to be the only ones that i can get that work without a neutral. anyways I guess homeseer is the only thing I can use to control both...

    Which UPB switch do you recommend?

    i'm basically the same, i have 10 pulseworks switches, and about 70 simply automated switches now. I needed 2 phase couplers but it works pretty good now. the sa switches are really lots less than the competition and i can't see a higher failure rate in terms of controlling the switches.

    New Start Retrofit in House UPB vs Z Wave

    i actually haven't had a failure on the equipment since I switched over to the new version and i've run 1000s of tests, it's handy having a extra computer that upstart is running on

    D day approaches, need guidance please!

    i would recommend getting power to the windows for the shades, i have to use batteries and it would be nice if I had power there. Hide it somewhere but I would put it at the top if possible. I have about 20 shades now and all are battery powered and it works fine but electric would be better...

    New Start Retrofit in House UPB vs Z Wave

    actually and this is pretty odd, but i upgraded to the new version of upstart that's on the pulseworks website and not the simply automated one and now I never get a failure, I have run some tests and in 9999 tests I have very very few failures.

    New Start Retrofit in House UPB vs Z Wave

    well i put in the pcx switch, wow what a difference, no noise, and signal strength is 87 at the device, up from 21 on the sa switch that is immediately next to it, and not even using the repeater, guess I need to put sa switches in there, i wouldn't think it would make that much difference but...
