I bought a new home about 3 weeks ago, and took my Omni II Pro with me. I've had an Omni for about 10 years (granted this current panel is only about 2 years old) Formerly I used legacy x10 and smart home x10 for lighting, but had issues as switches started to fail. At this groups recommendation, i've now swapped to UPB for all lighting in my new home, zwave for other items, and just use the old x10 lamp modules for xmas lighting.
My current Configuration:
HAI Omni II Pro running firmware 3.15
Hard wired ethernet to panel & to notifier board
Serial Connections:
x10 PIM - used for xmas lighting only
UPB PIM
Z-wave PIM
HAI Notifier Board
2 Omni Keypads
14 alarm zones
5 outdoor ethernet cameras
I have a ton (62) of Leviton UPB switches now and have most of them (51) installed and working fine, 8 Simply automated UPB ceiling fan controllers & 1 (8) button home controller. I've programmed them all with the Upstart software, and have them set to HLC mode in OMNI for better status reporting (based on a forum post i saw on this site). -
I have (5) Schlage z wave deadbolts (BE469NX), (3) Honeywell (TH8320zw) z-wave thermostats, and (2) Linear (GD00z-4) garage door transceivers.
I have 3 different mobile apps on my iPhone linked to the panel - Leviton's snap link, Haiku and Space. I prefer Space, but have the others for troubleshooting.
Problems:
#1. The ALL OFF command (from the keypad 4&0) calls upb link 2 for some reason - there is nothing in my automation blocks in the installer programming that reference that upb link. I can't seem to figure out why its calling that link.
a. The All Off command through automation programming cuts the switches off room by room- slowly (as designed apparently)
b. based on a forum post about the HAI "All off" command, I have changed the automation programming that when "all off" is called, it will activate UPB Link 240 which has all UPB switches in it at 0% (basically turns them all off at the same time)
c. the automation program does turn off everything as it should by using that UPB link 240 - but 4, 0 on the keypad activates UPB link 2
UPDATE - Item 1 has been fixed by changing the Omni back to UPB from HLC.
#2. My 2 week old Z-wave PIM died, and I had to replace it. I had to create an entirely new zwave "network" after installing the PIM. Now the OMNI is not seeing the correct status of the Schlage locks. It will lock/unlock them, but not always show the status if the door is manually unlocked. It did show status before replacing the PIM and creating a new network.
#3. two of the thermostats (# 1 & 2 in programming) show "communications failure" in the mobile app - however they respond to commands from the app.
a. in my old home I had 2 hardwired HAI omnistat thermostats that were in position 1 & 2 in the omni programming. Probably unrelated, but wonder if somehow the panel still has something its looking for with the HAI thermostats? (grasping at straws)
UPDATE - Item 3 has been fixed by erasing the eprom, re-uploading and changing the Omni back to UPB from HLC. (go figure)
#4. the Linear z-wave garage door controllers do not add correctly in my z-wave network, they show as "unknown devices" and do not respond to commands.
a. I've researched the issue, found a couple articles about them in general - followed all of those instructions but Leviton's zwave programing tools just don't seem to recognize them.
I've reset my panels eprom and wiped the panel, re-uploaded the programming from PC Access, but that still has not corrected any of the issues.
Any insight into these issues would be appreciated -
