UPB doesn't understand X10 commands, actually Insteon protocol doesn't
understand X10 either but many Insteon devices have support for X10
the X10 protocol too.

Here's a link to a site with some info on UPB:

I'd recommend searching for upb and dimmer that should get you other
sites with further info.

There is an X10 to UPB translator:

I have no affiliation with either of these links.
