I realize there are precious few Premise users still monitoring this forum. However, for anyone still listening, here's a summary of my recent attempt to put a fresh new face on Premise. First, if you're looking for screenshots or demos, you can stop reading now because I don't have any; I'm...

I'm done banging my head on this one so hopefully the UPB experts can chime in and tell me the silly newbie mistake I've made! I have two Simply Automated US1-40 Single Rocker Dimming Switches, Firmware V2.18. I used UpStart V8.0 Build 38 to program them. It reports the two devices have been...

I wanted to do some housecleaning in the Premise Downloads section but cannot find any means of deleting my old posts nor any of the attached files. Does this capability not exist or is it a feature available exclusively to paying members or what?

Premise's Scenes: flexible, powerful, and sometimes a source of frustration! You make a Scene that is supposed to turn on lights and then turn them off but sometimes they don't all turn off. Why? How can Scenes be forced to do what you want? Background When you play a Scene, you set the state...
