Anyone have any experience with Gen II Pulseworx? Supposedly it can work in a "highly attenuated" environment. I tried a few Pulseworx (Gen I)switches in my Switchlinc loaded house some months ago and the experiment was a total failure. Pulseworx just didn't work at all. Plus I didn't like...

Hello everyone, Anyone have any of the old style Keypadlincs marketed by Smarthome they'd like to give up? Model numbers were 12061 and 12062 - Color white. I don't usually check back on this forum so please respond to the e-mail below. Thanks! Chris [email protected]

I haven't read all of the replies in detail but has anyone mentioned a small desk for a computer or laptop? 6 by 6 would be a little small if this is desired. Chris

My two cents is that it also depends on how you want to interface with your controller. If you really like the ADI Leopards for example, you might want to base your system on the ADI stuff. If you really like RCS's new touchscreens, you may want to go with the RCS CS30 to start with...

Plus the Insteon switches are just really ugly and cheap looking in the dark - just my opinion but check for yourself before buying. Chris

Thank you everyone for the support. I hope my wording is OK now. I'm going to add "electric dryer" to the list today. Thanks, Chris

Thanks guys, Yes, my wording was not good but again just trying to help people out. The intent was for people to keep adding to the discussion as we go, not cause a huge debate. So if I say "fluorescent lights", the next guy can come along and say I found "XYZ brand of fluoresent lights" is...

Guys, I'm really just trying to help other users. If your UPB stuff worked, I am happy for you. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with all. I spent a $1000 bucks of hard earned money and horsed around for days trying to get my equipment to work. It was quite stressful and...

C'mon guys, I appreciate the comments and agree my wording could have been better but I don't think there is a way to go back and edit it. Agreed UPB works great for a lot of people but NOT all. If you read around on various forums you come across a fair number of people that are having...

Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot of posts on various forums about the problems people are having with UPB. So I though I would start a list we all could add to of things that might wreak havoc with UPB. And if folks have solutions we can post those too. Here is what I have learned so...

Hi guys, Thanks for responding. Methinks UPB still needs some refinement to live up to the hype. Here's yet another person with a problem: http://www.worthingtonsolutions.com/cgi-bi...;num=1139319124 Chris

My personal xperience with the first generation Switchlincs was that they tended to turn on by themselves. Once I got rid of my x10 communicating thermstat it 99.9% went away. Chris

Plus I can get 'em used for about 15 bucks a pop ;)

Martin, I really like the LED sidebar on the older Switchlincs. I also like the look and feel of the older Switchlincs. I don't use X-10 in my house for anything but lighting, so Switchlincs coming on by themselves is not a problem (especially since I eliminated the RCS X-10 thermostat)...

Hello, I'm looking for some of the old style Switchlincs (the ones where you push in on the bottom to disconnect them) I need white switches, communicating or non-communicating will do. I need the 600 watt scene capable switches and some slaves. Please e-mail [email protected]. Thanks...
