SAI made great products.  I’ve used them for 10 or 12 years (60 devices active) with no failures.  Unfortunately I think they have gone quiet.  The website URL is now suspended, they don’t return calls or emails, and my local dealer hasn’t carried their product for a year or more.  Really too...

I been trying to buy some UPB devices (specifically UFD-30’s) but my local supplier (Aartech, as I’m in Canada) can’t get them.  So I phoned Simply-Automated but their voice mailbox was full.  Then I found them at SmartHome Products, who accepted my online order, sent me a e-receipt but never...

My issue is a bit different. The softness of the water is not bothering us. Sometimes we notice it's a bit harder than at other times. The real issue is the tannins because the water turns a "tea-like" color. It's still potable, but it is a bit ugly and will eventually stain the white...

Thanks to both DELInstallations and RAL for your input. I'll check the demo unit I have to see if the clock is the only setting lost. I've shortened the regen time on the demo so it should be easy to see if a long outage causes a full reset. Also, I'm in agreement with RAL that Meter Delayed...

I have 3 pieces of water purification equipment in my pump room (long story).  A water softener, peroxide injector, and a tannin remover.  Each of these has an IWT-165 controller (Independent Water Tech).  They all do their backwash activity at different times under different conditions (volume...

Thanks will pursue this as time permits.

Rappa ... Did you ever find. .net API? I'm looking for any software to help slurp up UPB messages from my USB based PIM.

Doh!! It is a Panasonic "Inverter" microwave.  Good call!!

:D Well, Cocoonut, I have read this advice before in other blogs.  This time I followed your suggestion exactly and was able to figure out that the phase coupler was not going to fix my problem.  Fortunately I have a detailed map of my 96 (give or take) breakers and was able to work backwards...

Thank you Desert_AIP.  It will take me a bit of time to try this, but I will (not sure if I have spare phase couplers kicking around ... lots of parts, so maybe).  I especially like your comment on viewing the setup "holistically".  It is very good advice.  Thanks.

I have a similar problem (at least I think its similar).  I have 38 devices,  mostly switches, all of which I programmed using UpStart and all of which are still in their original locations.  I say this so it's clear that I have communicated with them in the past.  As my UPB network has expanded...
