I am slowly replacing all my X10 with UPB. I'm very happy with UPB so far (and most of what I have is Simply Automated).
I have two X10 8 button KeypadLincs that are critical for me. They are basically my only interaction with Homeseer. We use them to set "modes" like home/away, awake/asleep, holiday, vacation, mute, dogs inside, etc. I know you have 8 button UPB controllers but they won't work well for this because the buttons don't toggle on and off. What I need is for a button, when pushed, to turn ON if it's off and OFF if it's on. I also need it to be illuminated so we can tell whether it's on or off (or so we can tell whether HS is in awake or asleep mode, for example). I also need it to reflect changes initiated by HS. In other words, if a button is OFF, HS can turn it ON in some situations.
I think this could be done very elegently with UPB by simply programming each button to a scene number. That way the button could toggle the scene between "ativate" and "deactivate".
Can you tell me if you are working on anything like this and, if so, when it might be available?
Thanks.
