I'd look at these: Inovelli I have the Zigbee ones and an HAI panel can even control them. You do need a coordinator, but not a big deal. Then even have switches with presence sensors. I would stay away from the Thread/Matter.

That's a real good point. UPB works by creating positive and negative voltage spikes, so you can have two problems. First, anything that filters out the spikes can cause problems, or second, anything that creates its own spikes can cause problems. Things that control large loads on and off at...

Its not very likely that it just "fixed itself." You probably had a device that generated lots of UPB noise and that prevented it from working. When that noise source was off or changed, things work again. Could be a microwave oven (Panasonic), plasma tv, variable speed motor, or UPS power...

I have never used the VoIP.ms myself, in fact, I never knew that had one until you mentioned it but probably handy to call out from your VoIP.ms phone number. But for configuration, use the web page. There any many options, and several features can be done a few different ways with different...

I have used VOIP.ms for years, and it works great. I will say its not really a consumer level service, more a business type service, so many features can be a bit complex to set up. If something doesn't "work" it might be user error. Did they actually tell you its a "known issue," or was it...

I've been using the ScreenBeam ones for years and they work great. Splitters are fine but just make sure any outside cable connection is disconnected. You won't get the speed they say, but its pretty good.

Yes, they both can be connected at the same time. You can have as many as you like. UPStart In fact, any switch can control any other switch even without a controller. Its a nifty technology and reliable.

UPStart requires a USB powerline interface to be connected to the computer running it, since its independent of the HAI panel and its UPB powerline adapter. You can buy them with three types of interfaces, RS-232 serial, USB, or HAI serial. For a PC, USB is usually the easiest.

Back in the early 2000's, from maybe 2007 - 2011, I used to work in this industry, and back then, cellular providers came out with these mini base stations. If your coverage was bad, they would send you one for free. It was like a WiFi hotspot, but was a cellular transmitter that you connected...

At your next update time, maybe consider US Mobile. They work with Verizon, T-Mobile and ATT and you can switch from one to the other. They even have a plan where you can have multiple carriers. I live in a big gated HOA, and I don't think they let in cellular antennas, If you don't mind...

Wi-Fi calling is never going to stay connected from Wi-Fi to cellular, so keep that in mind. You think YOU have problems...I have Visible which is owned by Verizon. Have had it about 1.5 years. No problems until about a month ago. My signal in my house dropped to ZERO. My wife's phone as well...

Yeah, that is pretty much how it works. iOS has a feature called "Wi-Fi Assist" which says "Automatically use cellular data when Wi-Fi connectivity is poor." Anything like that in Android?

In your first post, you say you "can" control the light in question from the panel, but can't from these other switches. So the problem is these other switches. The panel can program switches, but only in certain ways, and a "3-way" or "4-way" configuration is not one of them. So this MUST have...

So I'm not sure I understand. These switches are not controlled by the HAI panel? Sounds like you have switches but you don't think they work but you don't really know what they do? Do they just control each other, but have no other purpose? UPB can do that, a switch can control another...

OK so that makes it easy to debug. So only one switch actually controls a light, the others likely just generate links to that one switch. That is the best way to do it. So in UPStart, or in PCAccess. you can or should be able to control each switch. If you can't control each switch, they are...
