    Looking to buy RC-2000 thermostats

    I've been looking on eBay and other places to replace both of my RC-2000WH thermostats. One no longer accepts remote setpoint changes and the other seems to have stuck relays (AC stays on). They lasted about 9 years. Does anyone know of a place selling them for less than a fortune or have one...

    OPII can't set RC2000 setpoints any longer

    HI all   I've had my OPII system since 2013 and use it to, among other things, control my RC2000 thermostats (2 of them).  All has been fine for the last 9 years.  I could control all stat functions from higher level software or directly from Dealer PC access using Send Command.   Starting last...

    Cant update OPII time

    I just tried to update my OPII controllers time and get this error message about an unhandled exception of the time format.  It looks valid to me.  Its been a year at least since I've reset the time, not sure why this is happening since it worked fine for years.  I'm running 3.16 software, which...

    Anyone tried OPII firmware 3.9?

    I saw an announcement at Worthington that 3.9 just dropped.  I'm currently at 3.16 (dated July 1 2016) and PC access tells me I'm current.    Am I missing something here?  They are jumping from 3.16 to 3.9?

    Android tablet POE Ethernet over USB

    I'm looking for a POE Ethernet to USB adaptor that includes the power and data conversion.  A small single box that can take POE Ethernet and get both the 5V power and data on the USB connector.  I can find a way to do it with a combination of two boxes (below), but that sucks.  I can live with...

    Simply Automated and UPB gen II/III

    I don't want to beat a dead horse on this subject.  Its been debated over and over...   It took me about 2 years to fully figure out all my UPB problems and fix them.  I was forced to install a Pulseworx UPB repeater in my breaker box.  I first tried to use the SA inverting phase coupler but it...

    UPB problems that won’t go away - repeater not working

    I’ve had a small UPB network at my new construction house for about 2 years.  I’ve not expanded it because of never ending noise problems.  I’ve tried to trace it down with a laptop and PIM but can’t find the source.  Its very intermittent and varying in intensity.  I’m guessing its coming from...

    Can't paste text

    Am I the only one who can't paste text?  Both the "Paste" and "Paste from Word" icons do nothing.  I typed up a big post and now I can't paste it and have to rewrite the whole damn thing.

    UPB lamp modules gone bad?

    I have 3 SA UML-20E lamp modules I bought last winter for controlling Christmas lights.  I set them up in Upstart and controlled them with my OPII.  All good.  At the end of the season I put them in a drawer and deleted them from Upstart.  Just pulled them out for controlling Halloween lights.  ...

    What generation is this switch?

    Pulseworks 400W UPB plug-in lamp module.  No info on its UPB generation.  I may need to get a repeater at my house.   Thanks.

    UPB diagnostic tools

    After some time I've learned that what I thought was marginal signal strength is actually very intermittent noise issues.  About every 2 or 3 weeks I see that I have severe noise.  It seems to be coming from outside the house.  When it happens all cross phase communication does not work.   So...

    UPB magnetic dimmer

    I'm looking for a UPB plug-in (or duplex receptacle) AC dimmer that works on low power transformers.  I have a 40W 120VAC input transformer with 12VDC output at full on for LED dimming that I want to control.   Alternatively if you know of a switching power supply for LED dimming that can be...

    Recomendations on controlling my Somfy shades

    I've got some Somfy IWT series shades connected to my OPII panel.  Until I have my fancy touchscreen interface setup I need to have operation of the shades for the wife.  If she can't make them work in the interim I'm in big trouble.   My plan was to use UPB tabletop controllers (SA US2-80TP) to...

    Your thoughts on the Leviton purchase of HAI 2.5 years in

    When Leviton bought HAI back in August 2012 I had mixed feelings.  Purchases like this can go many different ways.  It really depends on the motives of the purchaser and if they did their homework beforehand.   I had hoped that Leviton would provide additional resources to HAI.  Something that...

    Setting up UPB keypads to control Somfy shades throught OPII

    I'm trying to setup a SAUS2-80TP 8 button desktop keypad to control my Somfy IWT shade through my HAI OPII.  Ideally I'd like to use the "super multi-button" feature of this keypad so a single button can make the shade go all the way up, down, or press-and-hold (or double press) to use the...

    OP II Zone Loop

    In Dealer PC Access on the Status/Control tab and Zones one of the columns is "Loop".  Based on the numbers I'm seeing it appears to be a reading of the zone's wiring resistance based on a 8 bit (0-255) number system.   Correct?  If I'm right, what exactly does half scale (in the range of 127 to...

    Serial port pinout

    I'd like to confirm the J1 serial port pinout, if anyone here knows it.  The jumper is set to RS485.  I see that its a 6 conductor connector, but appears pins 1 and 6 are no connects so a 4 pin plug will work.   This is what I'm seeing on my oscilloscope when I send a command to this serial...

    Somfy IWT shade control issues

    I'm testing the control of my first Somfy shade motor to my OP II panel while the motor sits on my desk.  Its the ST30 IWT RS485 (model number 1000658).  I can't seem to get it to move.  I've read the excellent write up from Relleum on how to configure it, but nothing.  I'm seeing three ways I...

    OP II setup issues

    Starting to connect peripherals to my OP II panel, FW 3.12.  So far I've got UPB and my outdoor extended range temp and humidity sensors working.  However I can't seem to get the RC2000 thermostats and 33A00-4 consoles working.  The stats control HVAC fine, but don't talk to the panel.  The...

    How to renew my support of the site?

    I was a Silver supporter in 2011.  I'm active again on the site and want to renew my support.  However I don't see how to do it.  In my Client Area I see renewals, but its all blank.  Did this change with the site upgrade?
