Now that I have it switched to non dimmable.... I am hearing the buzzing sometimes but it appears to be coming from the screwin flourescents. I can live with it though as other than that they are working perfectly now.

No issues here either.

I'm having some difficulty configuring a UFD and a SW-1.... I am trying to use the SW-1 to send the command to the UFD with no luck. On the SW-1, I am only hooking up the black, nuetral and ground and capping the others. On the UFD I am only hooking up the Black, white and brown. I can turn on the UFD from the Upstart software but not turn it off and I can't control it either way with the SW-1. Any suggestions here?

Ron, can you send a link for the SW-1? I did a search at Automated Outlet and can't find it there. I can't find it anywhere. Who makes it, is it a switch or a slave? What are you controlling with the UFD? Might you have the UFD snap on and dim off over 60 minutes? Just a thought.

I have it setup as dimming not enabled.... the SW-1 is a switch and it supports multi rocker and is suppossed to be able to send a command to a UPB UFD.
Here it is... http://webmtn.com/products/productDetails.php?id=18 I was told that they are the same as the SimplyAutomated.... Should I try a US2/40?
Other than reinstalling, what did you do to get Upstart to turn off the UFD? Also, the switch is an SW-111 not SW-1. My Upstart doesn't even have a Web Mountain SW-111 but it does have a Web Mountain US2-40. Be careful of the link that the transmit defaults to on the US2-40. When I put in a test switch it defaulted to Link 241 You will need to create a link for the UFD then set the US2-40 to activate (transmit) that link.

I deleted the old devices and I installed the US2-40 and the UFD.. followed through the instructions again, selectedmy link for the switch and it started working (I did go in and test the link in grapghical mode too first). Strange thing is the switch won't light blue when it is off even though it is selected in the settings... but when it goes into program mode it will flash green. I tried setting the air gap and the blue would come on but as soon as the air gap is set to where the switch works the led will not turn on... defective?

I thought the only spot for turning on the LED was in the UPB UPStart Software where it allows you to pick the colors..
That is correct from off to green, light blue, and blue. All based on load conditions.

Make sure you reprogram the switch each time you make a change in UPStart. You can't just make the change in UPStart and save the file, you need to 'send' it to the switch. Also, the air gap has nothing to do with the working of the switch. The air gap is simply like a safety 'circuit breaker' that completely turns off the switch. It is intended for use when changing bulbs, etc so you can effectively totally kill power to the light regardless if someone turns the switch on or not. If you turn the air gap on the switch should be completely dead. When you turn it back off, the switch should work as normal/programmed.
