Smarthome 1132CU

Hi All, Well, my CM11a bit the dust .... couldn't communicate with it, yet is still sent out commands from the last upload (download?). After a deep power cycle, the thing was totally dead. I bought a Smarthome 1132CU from a 3rd party that advertised here and got it cheaper and with an additional 15% off. This unit is great! The programming is a bit different, however, it much reminds me of UNIX stuff, so it fit my semi-UNIX brain. But the big thing is that it works ... all the features work.

I have one module, N3, that I can't reach from my bedroom. I do have phase coupling, however, it still doesn't work. So, I programmed a macro to repeat N3 if it sees an N3. It works perfectly. I could never get the macros to work on the CM11. This unit seems to see smaller X10 signals and seems to send them out at a higher level. I didn't do any measurements, but it seems that way from the way that it works.

I was so happy with it, I thought I would let everyone know.

I sure hope there is a device like the 1132CU for UPB soon.

UPB is supposed to be better than X10. Anyway, thanks to your original post, I may consider the 1132CU for my existing X10 switches and modules. Here are some UPB links.

What are you using to program it?

UPB is an alternative to X10. It's a powerline carrier system that purports to be more reliable.
