    3-way HAI switch seems to have gone bad - help needed

    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.

    3-way HAI switch seems to have gone bad - help needed

    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.

    Samsung A32 hangs onto unusable wifi signal and can't find option to fix...

    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...

    Samsung A32 hangs onto unusable wifi signal and can't find option to fix...

    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...

    Samsung A32 hangs onto unusable wifi signal and can't find option to fix...

    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...

    Samsung A32 hangs onto unusable wifi signal and can't find option to fix...

    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?

    3-way HAI switch seems to have gone bad - help needed

    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...

    3-way HAI switch seems to have gone bad - help needed

    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...

    3-way HAI switch seems to have gone bad - help needed

    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...

    3-way HAI switch seems to have gone bad - help needed

    So each switch has a paddle that moves, and around that paddle is a thin line of plastic the surrounds the paddle, and the switchplate install over that. on the BOTTOM of this plastic "frame" look carefully, is there a split, and if so can you use your fingernail and pull the split to you? This...

    3-way HAI switch seems to have gone bad - help needed

    So there are different possibilities here. I was never a fan of this, but to save money, sometimes they would just use one real switch to control the lights, and the other two would be "remote" switches. These remote switches just used one wire to control the real switch. These "remote" switches...

    Honeywell 5853 glass break sensor

    You need to use the FlexGuard FG-701 which is specified. Generally these sensors are pretty reliable so just make sure they are dusted out.

    UPB switches - Powerline noise with new heat pump

    Yes, its the inverter part. I had a inverter Panasonic microwave that was terrible as well. Another problem I have seen with the inverter devices is longevity, but that's another story. The microwave only lasted two years. The good news, as a AC it has its own breaker, so that might help. I...
