Hmmm now you do realize that repeaters are NOT compatible with SA switches? SWITCH to SWITCH communications is NOT helped by a repeater UNLESS the switches are version 2 or later and SA does NOT make switches supporting this technology. You probably should have realized that since SA doesn't sell repeaters. Do you mean couplers? Couplers DO work with SA switches but repeaters work MUCH better with the right switches. I have all Web Mountain and Leviton switches which are all V2+ and compatible with a Leviton repeater (same unit as the PCS repeater) and it works flawlessly. Its really a sham that Simply Automated is allowed to sell UPB devices and not warn people that they don't comply with the newest standards. It all came down to money. PCS wanted extra money to license its latest technology but Simply Automated didn't want to pay. This is fine if people realize this. Web Mountain takes SA switches and applies the latest updates, so if you really do like SA switches, you can do yourself a favor by buying Web Mountain upgraded switches. They DO work with repeaters.DaAwesomeP said:I've been using 9 or so SAI devices across multiple breakers and subpanels for several years now. I have a non-addressable/fully automatic repeater between the subpanel and main panel. The reliabilty issues are between select switches that I have set to control the load of each other. I've had lots of issues getting the SAI switches to fit in standard US boxes with wires behind them. I've had jamming/spring issues with the single-rocker plates.
If you are going to use SA switches, stay with ALL SA devices such as couplers. DON'T add NON-SA devices like repeaters and expect them to work with SA. They DON'T.
