Hello all, I am new to the forum, but have learned a lot from reading the threads.
I have an Omni iie with FW 3.14a and I am experimenting with installing hai upb switches.
I have read threads off the forum and it has gotten me this far...but I am just unclear on a few things.
Where I am now:
1. 4 switches installed.
Breezeway = 1 dimmer and 2 aux.
Courtyard = 1 dimmer
2. I configured using dealer PC Access under Units, the following: Rm1 as Breezeway and Rm1-2 as Courtyard.
3. Put the dimmer switches in setup and have used the touchscreen to find them.
4. I can power them up and down with the touchscreen, but they work intermittently. Sometimes they power on, but then the touchscreen and snaplink then goes to a status of off. I have the UPB status wait time set to 5 and the transit count set to 3. Sometimes they don't power on or off and I have to try again.
5. Under Control of either touchscreen or snaplink,, only the Rm1 of Breezeway shows up, I don't see the Courtyard. But when I turn the breezeway on or off, it affects rm1 (Breezeway) and rm1-2 (Courtyard).
So my questions are this...
1. Should I have left Rm1 as a generic name ... say Outdoor Lights and then made the Breezeway Rm1-2 and Courtyard as Rm1-3?
2. If the answer to 1 is yes, then when I setup my switches, do I tie a switch to the generic name? or just skip it and tie the switches to Rm1-2 and Rm1-3?
3. If I have to refind the switches and pair them with new Rm1, 2, and 3 settings...Do I have to clear/reset them first? How do I do this? It seemed as if once the HAI found a switch and tied it to something like rm1, I could then not replace it. the touchscreen would say None Found if I tried to repeat the process.
4. I believe for the intermittent issues I need a phase coupler. I have one coming. My question is, do you think this is the issue? I have a 2 story 4700 square foot home. Is there a way to see the strength of the UPB signals?
I just want to say thanks in advance...this forum is great and there are some very knowledgeable people on here.
