I've been slowly converting from X10 to UPB. It's been painless and trouble free and every device added has been the same, painless and trouble free, it's just worked.
Well, ..... today i replaced a x10 appliance module, nothing wrong with the x10 one, it was just it's turn in the change cycle. Popped in the new UPB one, fired up upstart. It never recognized the new module, odd I'd never had that happen before. I unplugged the module, plugged it back in and put it in setup mode. Upstart did finally recognize it, I set it up, but it never would take the program.
This is all too weird. I plugged it into a different outlet, on a different circuit. there it worked just fine like UPB is supposed to. Programmed it just fine there and moved it to the outlet I wanted it in. NOTHING upstart doesn't see it and it fails the com test. can't be seen to download it's program. Moved it to yet another outlet. It's fine there too.
Plugged the old X10 dinosaur back in and all was well again. damn, that's mighty odd, who'd a thunk it.
So just goes to show, nothings perfect.
Now, where did i put all that x10 testing equipment, maybe it'll work for UPB too.
