I used UPB switches and configure them w UPStart but only very basic individual switch behavior - nothing fancy. I control the UPB switches from programming in OmniPro2+ that I build in PC Access. HS3/Omni plug in is wonderful to extend the poor capabilities built into OmniPro.
So, I'm happily using Omni plugin to do all the cool things I've wanted to for ages but couldn't arm twist PCAccess/OmniPro to do for me. Heck, I even get Alexa listening and mostly behaving!
But, when I write events to read UPB switch status, I discover something that I didn't expect. An event that triggers when a switch "changes an becomes on" doesn't ever trigger! I walk over, turn the switch on and off but still nothing.
Then, I turn the switch on & off via HS3 and all of a sudden it triggers!
And, when I look thru the status of all my devices I notice that only the devices that have been switched via OmniPro or HS3 programming register in HS3.
So, my problem is that HS3 won't recognize device events (not zones, those work great) that are manually set?
Or, am I missing something (hopefully).
Or, do I need to adjust the programming on the UPB switches to relay info (harder but doable)?
If someone out there has a similar setup, what are you seeing?
