[Hai-users] UPB and X10 play well together?

[Tom Morgan]

Should be fine.  In the early days of UPB I ran UPB in a Compose (X-10 variation) installation.  I would do simultaneous All On/Off commands with both technologies and they both behaved correctly.  I can't say I have tried it recently but 8 years ago it worked fine.  UPB transmits on half of the sign wave.  X-10 only transmits at the zero crossing and they both are at different frequencies.

Subject: [Hai-users] UPB and X10 play well together?

I'm installing a bunch (60 or 70 devices) of UPB (HLC).
I also have a small handful (maybe 8 or 10) X10 wall wart switches used for Christmas "things" and occasional control of ad hoc equipment.

It's in a large house, so I need repeaters for both.

Specifically, I'd like to install (Worthington descriptors)
LEVHCA03-10E is a Levition HCA02
alongside a
LSAHL392 is a HAI 39A00-2.

All of them are controlled with the OPII so control commands will unlikely occur in the same power cycles, though UPB status reports will occur "whenever".

What's gonna happen when I put these side by side?  I seem to recall that the UPB is spread spectrum but I don't know where I heard that.  If so it's probably OK but I'd kind of like to know what to expect from someone who has actually tried it.

Anybody with experience doing this?  Thoughts?

Dan
