Hi,   Can anyone tell me if the OmniPro 2 uses software or hardware handshake for the serial port?   Thanks!

Hi  BobS0327,   Did you get your Arduino code to work? I know it is a long time ago but I am trying to something very similar. Would appreciate any tips and perhaps code?    Thanks

Thanks pete_c   The Omni-Link guide gave me just about all I need.  :D 

I am trying to Bridge my OmniPro II with a Fibaro HomeCenter 2.   Can anyone tell me please: 1) what message/string I need to send to the OmniPro II to trigger it to send notifications (e.g. motion detector triggered) of events over the Ethernet port? 2) I assume I send this to the IP address of...

Well I have tried for a couple of months now to get my head around getting UPB switches and dimmers to work as HLC with my HAI OmniPro and have had no success. I don't understand the process at all well. I have no problem setting up the UPB units with UPStart. No problem programming the OmniPro...

Have ordered a replacement and hope to install next weekend.

Thanks Desert_AIP. I am finally starting to understand this :-) I will give it a go this weekend and try and get a few rooms up and running.

Thanks heaps Desert_AIP! This is really helpful. I already have a better understanding. I will get started with just one room of switches and dimmers and come back with any questions. Thanks again.

Des anyone know of books or youtube videos that explain the process of integrating UPB and the Omni controllers. I am totally lost with the whole UpStart, PCAccess setup. I have looked at the guides on HAI Website for setting up non-HLC hardware with Omni controllers but it is just tables of...

The UPB switches are from Powerline Lighting Control manufactured in Australia to suit our 240V 50Hz electricity. http://powerlinecontrol.com/   I selected "Can I configure non-HLC products to work like the HAI Lighting Scheme" but this gives me a series of PDF's with tables in them. I am very...

I have a 3 phase repeater and it was working fine with my switches and dimmers for a first 4 years or so. Now, wherever I plug the PIM into UpStart can only find the units on that phase and not the other two.   In Australia we have 3 phases of AC power and each is 240Volt. All circuits in the...

Sounds like my system was not setup properly in the first place as there has never been integration between the OPII and the UPB switches. The OPII can control the units but does not register switch changes. Switches changes are linked to the units and can turn lights off and on but OPII does...

Thanks very much for your reply. Really appreciate it :-)   I am in Australia on 50Hz 240Volt AC. All of the switches and units are from PLLC http://powerlinecontrol.com/     They were fairly early models for them circa 2008 and they claim that they have improved their switches and units...

My current switches and units are UPB Generation I and there has always been problems with reliability. Perhaps 1-2 in 10 switch changes do not get recognized correctly by the linked unit. Some of the units have failed altogether and I need to replace. My question is whether generation III is...

I am in Australia with 240v and 50hz AC. I have PLLC http://powerlinecontrol.com switches and dimmers. I have a three phase coupler installed but having problems with it. UpStart cannot communicate with it and I can only "see" the switches and dimmers on the phase that I connect the computer...

Thanks. Have checked out Haiku and looks good. I use iPads and iPhone for controlling the OmniPro and I have a MacBook so works well for me. Based on feedback from another post I am going to persist with UPB for now.

Thanks everyone. Great advice. I will try HLC through the OmniPro II. My current switches and units are UPB Generation I and there has always been problems with reliability. Perhaps 1-2 in 10 switch changes do not get recognized correctly by the linked unit. Some of the units have failed...

I don't really want to stay with UPB but was an early adopter and now there are so many better technologies. I can't really afford to swap out all the UPB light switches in the house but was thinking of getting rid of the UPB units (dimmers) and use the OmniPro II to register the light switch...

I have an OmniPro II and my light switches and dimmer modules are UPB. The OmniPro II can switch the lights ON and OFF no problem through a serial interface to the mains power but is there anyway for the OmniPro II to be able to receive the UPB messages from the light switches? Flicking a switch...

Are there any products out there that allow the OmniPro II to control light relays or dimmers using wired or wireless ethernet? There are numerous inexpensive ethernet controlled relays available but cannot find out how to get the OmniPro II to message them.
