"Signals on both phases is what you want to check...."  When I double click the icons for the switches, they all show Phase "O" (opposite). The phase for the repeater shows "Black"...I don't know what that means.   "To / From UPB PIM and To / From UPB Repeater and To / From all UPB devices"  I...

Now installed PulseWorks UPB repeater. Without the repeater, UpStart reports no noise. With repeater connected, I am seeing UpStart results for the repeater comm test:   At repeater: signal 234, noise 10, average noise 5 At PIM: signal 44, noise 1   Sensitivity of repeater set to "low", their...

I mis-typed the description of the unit I ordered from Jeff...it's the same XTB-IIR that you have. I think it's going to make a big difference.

Simply Automated said put their inverting phase coupler at the main panel and any sub-panel. Put first one on the sub-panel where the PIM circuit is. When put second coupler on sub-panel in garage, UpStart would not verify one of the UPB switches. Removed coupler in garage, devices verify OK.  ...

Have Omni LTe installed and currently can access remotely via telephone/PC Access. Would like to have control via iPhone. Tried Leviton SnapLink app, but as others here and elsewhere have observed, control is erratic and support is non-existent. Also, although able to connect on LAN, was unable...

In reading the information on UPB couplers on the Simply-Automated site, they indicate that couplers should be placed on the main panel as well as any sub-panels, and that if there are any non-inverting couplers (HCA02?) in place, they should be removed or they will degrade performance. They...

Forgot to mention main electrical configuration: supply from street transformer comes into house and feeds main panel. On the main panel there is a 100-amp double breaker that feeds a sub-panel, all of whose circuits are powered by an external generator in case of a power outage (we live in the...

Since I have room in my main panel, could I use this instead of the unit you saw on EBay?     https://www.homecontrols.com/Simply-Automated-UPB-Inverting-Phase-Coupler-Circuit-Breaker-SAZPCIB

Should I add that to the system in addition to the HCA02 unit or will the UPB coupler replace it?

Posted my updated Unit list to Gallery. [sharedmedia=gallery:images:1396]   Tested all 3 UPB units. Could control normally this afternoon with 1) Local (rocker), 2) UpStart, 3) Console and 4) PC Access sending commands to <Control><Unit><Level 60%><On> and the <Off> to each unit, as well as <UPB...

Shows both X-10 Units (1-16) and UPB Units (17-19)

List of X-10 Units (1-16) and UPB Units (17-19)

"Thinking you mentioned that you have 3 in wall UPB switches so you would configure only 018, 019 and 020 leaving the rest of the units at default"   Did you mean 017, 018 and 019, since U1-U16 are X-10 and U017 begins the "block" of UPB?

In getting rid of the "B" labelled X-10 switches #17-32 (since I have now given those unit numbers the house control code "UPB"), do I have to replace them with non-X-10 dimmers, or can I simply set the house code to something other than "A" or "B". In other words, will an X-10 switch, set to a...

A little further information, Pete. From where I sit at the PC, I can see the "Beach Light". If I go up to the console and control it "On", sometimes when I come back to view it, it is indeed "on", but other times it is "off" even though the console Status shows it "on" and PCA Status says it is...
