PCS / PulseWorx 600W UPB Dimmer

UPB is a power line carrier system. That means no new wires. It is a perfect fit for retrofitting an existing home or using in a new home. This technology uses a powerful pulse position modulation technique that goes the distance for larger homes. Best yet, every device has built in signal measuring circuits that can be remotely monitored to assure the installer that everything is working and has good signal strength.

The flexibility and reliability of UPB make it stand out as an excellent choice for lighting control. The architecture is a distributed system. This means that if one device fails for any reason, the rest of the system keeps operating. All devices have non volatile memory. When the power fails, the switches will be at the same dim level when power is restored.

This system is worth a very close look. It works great by itself. If you want special communication features that need to be provided by an automation system, there are many automation manufacturers that support the UPB protocol. There is nothing in this price class that comes close to providing this level of flexibility and features.
