Just purchased 5 SAUS240s and 2 HAI 6-button room controllers, along with SAs CIM and phase coupler. Some of my experience so far:
Installed HAI 6-button controller and UPstart found it and configured it, no problem -- signal and noise looked great.
Installed US240 IN SAME BOX as HAI 6-button, physically wired to same power. UPstart could not find it. Tried another US240, no go. Tried a second HAI 6-button controller, no go. Of multiple devices, 1 was discovered and all comm data looked great. No other device could even be found.
Started moving switches around house (plugged them into receptacles) and found they worked some places, and not others.
Installed phase coupler. No appreciable change in performance.
Moved CIM (via long extension cord) to another room, away from computer. All started working well. Great signal and noise from all devices.
Then, noticed some X10 devices no longer responded to X10 transmissions. Removed UPB phase coupler, and X10 again working.
Questions:
1) I was surprised that at the same location, one device was discovered and comm test should great results, while other devices could not even be discovered.
2) What are people doing about the coupler eating X10 signals
I'll report back more results as I install the remaining switches.
