Re: X10 Coupler-Repeater & UPB?

["Brett Griffin" <bret.griffin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is claimed about 10% of the homes in the US require a UPB Phase coupler.

I have found you will know in the beginning.  Unlike X-10 they may not need
it now but may later, UPB seems to be now or never.  I installed switches in
a clients home of 6k square feet.  I had to install it immediately to get
all switches working.

For professionals it is always safer to use it and not need it.

Homeowners, I suggest wait until you need it... you may not.  HAI's phase
coupler is about the same prices as a light switch.

I have yet to dicover a problem in UPB in reliability and speed.  I use
them, and like the felxability in programming they provide.
