I've used Simply Automated UPB lighting on the last three houses I owned.   That's running Homeseer on a small Book-sixed PC   That being said, in this downsized house I'm a mix of UPB and Zwave (GE / Jasco) stuff.  Mostly because the stuff I want as just on -off switched is cheaper via Zwave...

  Its the only four breakers in the box :)  That subpanel is just for the pool.   I guess someone could have messed with it post install but age of everything seems to indicate original

    Yep, that's part of the rule set I will write.  Need to do it anyway so if someone hits the switch and it sees the pump not running, it immediately shuts back off.  Gas heater.   Only thing I can't control is heater temp setting as its a dial on the heater.  But I can monitor water temp and...

    Yikes! sounds like that one was a mess.   Other than the wrong breaker on the pump and not having switches, the installation is fine.  Proper box, conduit runs, additional grounding rod for that box (pump also ties to that rod) and GFI breakers.  Have no idea what they were thinking.   Pool...

  Yeah the inspector caught it.  I got them on so much other stuff to fix and ended up paying $20k less than they paid for it in 2000, so I didn't mind taking on that project as I knew I wanted to change some stuff around.  Heck the filter was leaking and the heater from 1999 didn't work, but...

I downsized to a new (to me) home last month. This one has a pool that was built shortly after the house (early 80s), but they did an awful job with the equipment. Pump and filter are in the garage, gas heater just outside of it. All the gear is direct wired to breakers, didn't know you...

Not compatible with Whole home DVR service or 3D if you have any of those.....

SAI 1140W. Damn kids jamped the remote switch paddle down. Pulled the padddle on the remote and replaced and all is well.

I have about 20 UPB switches throughout the house and only had an issue with one on install until today. One of the upstairs switches doesn't respond at all to local commands (Single rocker). It worked fine only using remote (iPhone of HS interface). Tried putting it into setup and nothing...

I did split mine into 2 cans. First floor and second floor. First contains the Elk and most of the runs, however I wanted the ability to expand later if needed and reduce what was going (wire-wise) to the main floor can. All my upstairs zones (mostly motion) pull to the zone expander in the...

Thanks Kevin. $150 for it with a new lens seemed like a good deal (still in box). No log in? Just assign it a port and view?

Grabbed an older IQeye3 to play with.....

What Cam is that?

Why not buy some white CAT5 then? http://www.monoprice...&seq=1&format=2 Or use a raceway http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=100657473&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&MERCH=REC-_-search-1-_-NA-_-100657473-_-N&locStoreNum=1950 or just paint it

Just make sure you get one with Preouts. I use a NAD T747 as my Pre/Pro and a NAD T955 for the front 5 channels (T747 drives the rear surround). My old Onlyo RC160 doesn't have pre-outs so its relegated to the Bar and Outddoor zones.
