I also did not use any slave switches. My upstairs hall has 4 switches to control a single load. One of the switches actually controls an exterior light (that I added after the house was done). For me when doing the house there were 3 or four locations where I could have used USR's. I chose...

I use both. Mostly the RJ45 but have uses for both.

I've checked the Renton Washington store lately and not found any UPB product. In August I bought 5 appliance modules for 25 bucks...

My phase coupler came with me UPB evaluation kit so I installed it even though my initial testing indicated I didn't need it. Two years later I think that anything that improves reliability in *any* way is worth it so were I to do another project I'd just add it in and forget about it.

Back to the protocol question, these are sort of aimed at UPB and I suppose is expanded a bit to look at a system level than just the communication layer. 1) It would be nice to be able to control the LED via the protocol rather than the device configuration. 2) Tapping multiple...

You guys sure about 11W at the switch? That is a lot of heat, the switches would be quite warm. My UPB switches consume very little -- it is hard to measure on a kill-a-watt meter even if the switch LED is on.

My point on same/other was that 40 of my switches are on other and 6 are on same. Given the choice I would move the PIM to the other phase.

I suppose that I should add. I have never had a switch not activate the load even at these very low signal levels. That is super important.

New years is over and I'm the only one still up... I've been seeing some UPB strangeness lately and thought that I'd run some tests based on what I've learned in this thread. My house is 3200sqft and 2 of the UPB devices are located in a shed 100 ft away (this distance did not appear to...

My TV has only one composite input and that is hooked up to the VCR. The TV has 7 inputs but only one is a composite input.

Thanks sic! Had no idea that cable existed, that is exactly what I was looking for but I just didn't know it! That cleans things up a lot.

We are one of the families with no TV... at least only a TV for videos. Well for xmas we (I) broke down and got a Wii so now I'm trying to get it all easy to run with our Harmony 880 remote. Everything would work great IF I could select the output from our VCR. Problem is the only IR code is...

I have an axis 2400 and tested it with twilo's software using a blackberry curve worked great. I could checkup on our 'chicken cam' on the blackberry. The kids loved keeping track of the chickens that just hatched... ahh technology...

LightenUP: That is how I would describe it. The lights go off by dimming and sometimes come back sometimes not. (My kids actually have a blast turning them back on for Mom...) I checked out the log and it is hard to tell what is going on since the kids were banging on things while the...

I'm currently using a 22/4 for monitoring my furnace. It works great.

Not sure how far away to look. The houses here are on 1.5 acre lots so I don't have that many neighbors. There are lights around but notthing crazy. I don't see any motorized things or things with fans but I'll check again. It started at 5PM yesterday and went to about 7PM. I didn't see...

I don't think that is it. I watched in the logger and I see the same switch being turned on a bunch of times then off a bunch, randomly. I thought it might be some dimmable flourescents I put in a while ago when I isolated them. Turning them off seemed to fix the problem. Then I turned them...

I just got home and many of the lights in the house are randomly going on and off, dimming... Very low WAF right now. I've checked noise and I don't see a problem. Any thoughts on this????? This is the first UPB problem that isn't my fault.... Help

To keep your budget in check keep your eyes open on ebay and here. I bought all of my alarm/fire alarm stuff right here and on ebay. I'd estimate at 40% of retail maybe less. As I recall the little stuff added up, mag sensors, wire, EOL relays, tools... I am using a CADDX system NE8. It is...

When I started out with UPB a couple years ago I had problems using USB->RS232 adaptors. It would take 4 or 5 connection attempts before UPStart connect. I now have a real RS232 on my HA machine and haven't had a connect problem in years.
