INSTALLATION / CONFIGURATION
System Requirements:
This plugin allows HS to communicate and control UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) devices through a serial interface called a PIM (Powerline Interface Module) or the PulseWorx Gateway PGW which is an Ethernet based interface. Here are the only supported interfaces:
If you need an USB interface go with the PIM-U from PulseWorx. The UMC-DB9 from SA with an additional Serial to USB adapter won't work.
This plugin is for HS3 or HS3PRO. Both Windows and Linux version are supported. It also can run as a remote plugin, i.e. on a different machine than the one on which HS is running.
UPB System Configuration:
Before using this plugin, your UPB system must be configured using the UPStart program that you can download from http://www.simply-automated.com/prod...t_download.php
The UPStart application will allow you to program and test your UPB devices. When you have completed programming your devices you will need to export your UPB system description so that the plugin can access information about your system. To export your system description use the File/Export command within the UPStart application, and save the file as a .upe file somewhere on your disk, for example in your HS Config folder.
Plugin Installation:
Download and install the plugin called UPBSpud from the updater, or download the package from the Beta Testing thread and follow instructions to install.
Plugin Configuration
First, make sure you have closed the UPStart program, otherwise the plugin won't be able to communicate with your UPB network.
Start the plugin from the "PLUG-INS > Manage" page and go to the config page "PLUG-INS > UPBSpud > Config".
Choose the interface type you have, i.e. "Serial/USB PIM" or "PulseWorx Gateway", then enter the name of the COM Port for the PIM or the IP address of the PGW.
Click Edit and select your .upe file, then click on the Import button. If everything is ok, it will import your UPB configuration, create HS devices, and synchronize them with the current status of your actual devices.
By default the plugin polls every device on your network at startup to know their current state, which can take quite some time if you have a large UPB network. Uncheck this setting if you don't want this occur everytime the plugin starts.
