* I hooked up my first two switches into the ELK last night. Something was weird in that via the java/web interface I could turn my switches off but could didnt go back on. I would flick the switch on and off but the light would stay off. Now as a disclaimer I didnt hook up my phase coupler yet, doing that tomorrow. I had two switches installed and I know for a fact they were not on the same phase so the CIM had to be on the same phase as one of them. I figured I had some setting wrong in UPBStart that related to dimming however when I went over to the ELK keypad and turned the swtiches on and off it was 10 for 10. Is there something fishy with the java/web interface?
*Is there any sort of polling that takes place or does it just relying on no messages being dropped to keep things in sync.
*I figured I would hook the UPB controller to the ELK rather then to CQC. My reasoning being the alarm is always on where the PC can be down for upgrades/reboots/windows crashes. I was making the assumption CQC telling ELK to tell UPB would be the way to go when I want to make changes via my remote controls and touch pads. Does that make the most sense?
*Is there any reason to get a second controller and hook it up to CQC?
*Is there any reason to get a second controller for other testing purposes? I am okay taking the controller out of the ELK when I get a new switch but I am wondering if there is a good reason to have UPBStart running when there is a controller in the ELK.
