I've been using UPB ever since it came out using mostly Simply Automated Gen1 switches. I've always had some signal problems getting to the opposite phase, and I have three phase-couplers installed.
About a year ago I installed a PCS split-phase coupler which worked great, but only with newer Web Mountain Gen2 switches, and not my older Gen1 Simply Automated switches.
I'm getting a new house so want to use the repeater from the start. So I called Simply Automated, and they say they think their more recent switches DO work with the PCS repeater. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not? Is Gen2 required to use the repeater?
For those that don't know, if you use a repeater with older Gen1 switches on the OPPOSITE phase, the repeater does repeat the signal to the switch BUT it DOESN'T reply the reply from the switch to UPSTART, and thus, you can't program the switches. Anyone fully understand this UPB Gen1 vs. Gen2 thing?
