Problem solved due to a helpful member. Thanks!

Sorry to be slow to respond. I have 13 devices that all may need to be white on install. I'd take up to that many if you can spare them. Thanks for responding. [email protected]

Howdy, I've been coming hire of and on for years to learn about various things, but never had a need to participate until now. I have a variety of UBP devices. My installation isn't huge, but in a 2300SF house and a detached shop building that's about the same size, it's been very reliable...

Thanks for the response. I drove myself crazy trying to find out why the COM ports weren't showing up in the Windows 10 device manager. Finally I rebooted the computer with the CIM attached and it seems to be working just fine now. The COM ports still don't show up, but I guess you can't have...

Greetings. I recently purchased some UPB devices from ebay at a good price, but I'm having problems with the CIM. This is a UMC-USB-W device. I have it connected directly to my windows computer but UPstart won't recognize it. If I treat it as a "USP CIM (SA)" in Upstart, it fails to connect and...

I don't see any need to apologize, you just don't see one this old come back to life that often is all. Good Luck with your project

wow! That's waking up an old post.

Yoda and Mr Mightymouse2000 are certain to be among my favorite posters. They add so much to the conversation and their tone is simply wonderful!

I wish you a great deal of luck with the product line. After reading your very excellent writeup, I'm certain that this product is in the right hands and you answered the questions that I've had as to why this product hadn't received more extensive development and marketing support. I'm a real...

I think that there are more people interested in automation than most of us think. Security systems, irrigation systems and garage door openers are common. Granted these are among the most basic items in our installations, but they are still low level automated stuff. The networking that we have...

The twist rate for UTP cable is specified in it's standard. Each of the four pairs in any Cat5 cable are twisted at different rates. This is to minimize cross talk. There is just a bit of info on this site. I didn't have time to look for a more detailed site. Mike

That looks like a nice product line. Any idea who is retailing them? Mike

If the GFCI is tripping instead of the main breaker, your problem is not overload but likely moisture. The GFCI is doing just what it is supposed to do and upping the amperage will do nothing to stop it. In these types of situations, GFCI's can be very frustrating to use. Mike

I must be scanning through the posts too fast....thanks Mike

Nobody mentioned "j" hooks so I'll throw that idea out there. Mine are mounted high. away from the line voltage stuff but low enough to avoid being cut by an over zelous roofer. The hooks make it easy to drop in new wire, pull out an old run or do whatever else might need doing. They do cost a...
