HAI UPB Install

[ckg1999]

I think the PIM is not set up correctly with the panel.
If you are using the same PIM with UPStart then the PIM is working.

Check the jumper on the Omni panel is set to rs-232 not 485.

If you are using the same PIM with UPStart, are you absolutely sure you're putting it in message mode when exiting?
Are you're hearing the PIM buzz (transmitting) when you are sending commands from the controller?
(You said no activity was noted but I'm not sure if you just mean the lights don't work.)

So, I got it working!

Using Haiku, it does not report the current status of the switch, however. Any thoughts?

In UPB mode the Omni doesn't track status, only in HLC mode.
I suggest using the HLC convention. It can be used with any UPB switches, not only HAI.
If you only have two switches now it will be easy to change to HLC.
I changed over after I had more than 40 switches installed, I did it but it was a laborious process - worth it in the end though.

If you want to remain in UPB mode you have to add programming to tell it when it sees UPB events to send out status requests.
Problem is you have to write separate events for nearly every action.
A UPB ON and OFF are different signals, as are Unit and Link ON and OFF. Plus you'd have to tell it to send status request to every switch that is part of a link. Pretty soon you are using all your programming just to track the UPB status.
All of that is done automatically (for the most part) with HLC.

All HLC is a specific allocation of Unit numbers, and Links with pre-programmed behaviors attached.
There are several threads here, a couple within the past month or two talking about HLC and using SA switches.
I posted in most of them, if you can't find them by searching by subject try searching for my name.

Thanks for the help! Will look to change over to HAI shortly. Appreciate it!

That should be its own thread, not a hijack.

Correct! It also comes with the cable needed to connect to the IIe

See above.

1105W. Isn't used to configure the switches but very helpful in setting up the panel. You will need to name the switches and this will make your life easier.

Commonly used part numbers below.
35A00-1 - 600W Dimmer
38A00-1 - Scene Controller
38A00-1 - House Controller
40A00-1 - 15A Relay Switch

You may also need a phase coupler which is part number 39A00-1. Not all homes need a phase coupler but it is recommended for most installations.


Connect the cable from the PIM to the IIe via the supplied cable. Next open PC Access (1105W) and name all your switches under Setup > Names and Voices. When doing this be aware that the first unit of each "Room" (8 Units in a room) is reserved for a Scene Controller. If you don't have a Scene Controller you should just give it a generic name, IE Downstairs, Living Room, Outdoor Lighting, etc... (This applies to units 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, ....)

Next you want to set your House Codes to HAI Lighting. This can be done under Setup > Misc > Control. Each house code is 16 units (2 rooms of 8 Units).

Now under Setup > Installer > Expansion set the correct serial port function to UPB.

Once all that is done, download the file to the panel.

Now to configure a switch you first go put the switch into setup mode. This is done by taping the rocker 5 times quickly. The load should then flash once and the LED on the switch will begin to blink. Now go back to a keypad and hit the "6" button (Status) then "1" button (Control) and scroll down to the name of the light you just put into setup mode. Once there hit the "#" key twice to configure the switch.

EDIT: Just saw the last part of your question.

The switches will actually show up in Snaplink/H@me as soon as name the switches and download them, however without configuring them properly they won't be functional.

I followed all these steps, but after I press the #,# to configure the switch, I get the messages: "FINDING MODULE" then... "NO MODULE FOUND"

What is the most likley cause the switch not being configured or found?
