UPB Pulseworx (DBM) Doorbell Module

Well if it's in the spec but not implemented then I have even more complaints.

Hey, I do appreciate all the input.  Seems to me though, if I am going to use the OmniPro2 to do all the work, then I dont need the DBM.  I'll hook the doorbell up to a zone on the panel and write my program that way.  What I am still not sure of and maybe you can confirm is that I can not get the lights to return to OFF if that is their previous state.  LAST LEVEL returns them to the last ON level.  Are you saying that if I write this program.....
WHEN Doorbell Link ON
     THEN Family Room Lights BLINK (0.25sec) FOR 5 SECONDS
.....any lights that are off will BLINK for 5 sec then turn back off?  And any lights that are ON (at any level) will BLINK then return to that level?  Because I could only figure out how to do one or the other, not both.

I agree you don't need the DBM. I use the elk doorbell detector hooked into a zone.
I wasn't sure if you could get wire to the doorbell or not.

I'll try that specifically (return to Off).
When I did the test with lights dimmed to various levels, they always returned to the previous level.
The Omni sent a numeric level command, not a last level.
So I assumed if the light was off it return that way.
I'll test it.

Yes it does work.
The Blink for 5 seconds command sent to a light that is off returns the light to the off state at the end of 5 seconds.
The Omni sends a Goto 0% command at the end.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

No problem, it actually forced me to do some experimenting I've been putting off and I added the blinking light warning to my own doorbell routine.
