I believe it has the Zigbee Radio. I don't use Zigbee, but it happened to be included when my installer replaced a defective non-Zigbee unit I used to have.

So I did more testing. Looks like it wasn't a firmware update, it was replacing a defective thermostat that caused the problem. The original OmniStat2 I had didn't have ZigBee and this one does. If I remove the thermostat, I can update energy levels fine. If I re-install the thermostat, the...

After a firmware update, my Omni Pro II stopped responding to Energy Levels. I have a series of programs to change the Energy Level based on my hydro provider and programmed routines to control hydro during peak and off-peak times. At some point, it seems the controller stopped accepting those...

I've got a greenhouse business and we inject citric acid into the water to stabilize the pH. Food grade citric is easier to work with but gets mouldy if it sits in water too long. We use Dosatron injectors - definitely the best we've ever tried. Basically you create a concentrated solution of...

I've got a strange scenario and I need input on thermostat wiring. I have 9 thermostats wired into an OmniPro II. They're wired in a "T" configuration with two inline to the controller and then branch two directions to all the others in parallel. Every one works and can send and receive from...

OK, I found the issue. Despite the fact that everything in the house works with Links, the HAI panel doesn't like the noise from my UPS in the basement. If I flip the breaker for my UPS, the panel responds to links. If the UPS is active, it won't respond to links. The UPB interface to the HAI...

Are there any good documents available on using UPB lighting schemes and setups with HAI Omni units? I've got 6 x 8-button UPB controllers and I want the buttons to trigger events, but I want to have each of the controllers to have different sets of triggers. That would give me up to 48...

Tried the phase thing already. Same phase gives higher signal and less noise, but still enough that I can't discover devices, even those on the same circuit as the PIM. I tried an extension cord and different circuit to the PIM with no success. Not about to put an extension cord on a 20A...

I have a BestPower/Eaton UPS, not APC. It's more a server-grade rack unit with external battery packs and runs off a NEMA5-20 plug. The equivelant APC uses either the same 20A plug or a 20A twist-lock plug which would also be a pain. I would expect the larger the UPS, the more chances for noise...

OK, that's what I figured. Now for the fun question. The UPS is on a dedicated 20A circuit and draws 16A of power. I've only seen UPB filters up to 15A rating so far. It's a 2000VA expandable unit and all the 2000VA expandables I've used need a 20A circuit. Can anybody point me towards a...

I've got a UPB setup and everything was working perfectly until I installed my UPS on my server. Now I've got noise everywhere and have all kinds of problems reading and programming devices. It's a PowerWare/Eaton 2000VA unit running off a dedicated 20A circuit with no UPB devices on that...

I've got a setup with some dimmers, room controllers, and some relay switches. Everything works with the HAI stuff, but I bought an additional Pulseworx PIM to do some UPB programming with UPStart. The only thing is, I can't seem to communicate with any of the relay switches. UPStart's auto...

I think it was HRV2500 or something. It was a cheapie model to satisfy building codes only. It works. No balancing or anything. I think they're sold under another brand name as well, but can't remember. Peter

I can't remember the model of Venmar HRV exactly. They use a couple standard controllers for thier HRV's out there. C34 is one of them (made by Venmar). If your Venmar uses the C34 controller, this should work. I just noticed, I typoed the original instructions and said C4 not C34. The C34 is...

I searched the web for HRV control and didn't come up with much, so here are my findings so far. I have a Venmar HRV with a C4 controller. It's a basic unit with Off, On, Boost, and Recircuilate mode. There are 4 wires to the controller. Green and Black seem to be the main control wires. If...
