So if I were to get a PCS wall switch relay (WS1R-15, I don't need dimming), this would work with Upstart to configure and such?

I took apart the switch and the yellow wire isn't attached to anything, just has tape around the end of it - I am assuming this is the problem most likely?  I don't know where to put it, but seems like something an electrician should know.

Yeah, those are good questions. He did try to get the switch to work, but couldn’t. I guess he had me convinced that I needed to “program” or install it as part of the home automation for it to work fully. He hadn’t even heard of upstart. The switch should work manually even if it isn’t...

Additionally, I don't know if this matters, but I have firmware 1.01 on all the switches that work and the new switch has firmware 1.08.  I don't know if this matters or why more updated firmware would be a problem. 

I am having a problem with a new HAI 35a00 switch.  I have about 50 UPB switches.  One died for my outside lighting and a local electrician replaced it.  Needless to say, no one in my area knows anything about UPB or omnipro.  The switch won't control the lights, the lights are on, but won't...

Follow-up question:  I have the PIM-U working and can "read-in" all of my UPB switches except it is not finding the two that I would like to modify in our bedroom.  When I put them into setup-mode, Upstart indicates that they are "not on the network."  Is there something simple I can do to...

Thanks ano,   It looks like PCS has a PIM-USB that I'll get.  Glad you mentioned to leave the HAI PIM alone, I was thinking of using that.  Hard to believe that there isn't some functionality at the switch itself to change intensity or color. 

Hello,   I am trying to dim or even turn off the backlighting of a few leviton 4-scene switches in our bedroom that provide too much light at night.  Do I need Upstart config software to do this?  If so, if someone could direct me to what other hardware I need, that would be great (another...

Thanks very much!

Just to clarify - the sensors were on away interior and I switched the ones I wanted to night interior.  Those sensors I changed will still be active when set to "Away" correct?

Thanks very much!

I am wondering if it is possible to set "night" security and have one or two of my motion detectors active (in the basement), while the rest are inactive?  Is this a possibility to program in PC Access - or can I setup a custom security protocol (ie, night1) to achieve something like this?     I...

Hello,   I am trying to find a way to have our driveway and exterior lights activate at night as we approach our house.  I have an omnipro II with one wireless receiver.  Is there a GPS-related function from my phone that the HAI could detect our proximity (ie, within 500 ft) and turn on...

OK - I have the GE wireless receiver and 6 NX-481 detectors and a repeater.  I am having a problem "learning in" the transmitters to the wireless receiver.  My old sensors were in zones 49-54 (I have one expansion module for blinds).  So, I am choosing "a2" and "n2" on the setup, which I think...

Great info - will the GE products work with the omnipro II?  Which receiver and repeater do you use?   Thanks
