Hey all,
I was about to go with Insteon dimmers/switches/etc for my install until
someone detailed out some of the features of SAI's US2-40 UPB devices. I
love the idea that I can use a single device that can be a dimmer,
switch, keypad, etc with just the change of the faceplate. Also the idea
that the switches are so programmable from a piece of software is just
neato!
However my great concern (besides the price, hehe) is what level of
integration into MH exists for UPB.
Is the the same or greater than Insteon?
What computer interface do I use?
I like the idea that the physical dimmer/switch is separate from the
buttons in the US2-40, so I can divorce the buttons from the control of
the device directly. I would love a scenario where when I press a dimmer
control, it sends the UPB signal to MH and MH dims the physical device
(giving MH a kind of permission admin control over the lights, etc.). Is
this practical? Or is the delay too great?
Do I really need to link scenes from keypads, or can MH just handle all
the control with UPB?
Unlike Insteon, I didn't find very detailed UPB integration docs on the
MH wiki.. Just a UPB info page, is there more information? Is UPB
support still maintained?
Thanks all,
David
