What is used for the primary control of lights and small appliances?
A. Most lights and small appliances can be controlled using either UPB or ALC hardwired lighting. UPB sends signals out over the existing power lines to special switches and modules compatible with the UPB technology. UPB dimmer modules are intended for installation in homes, with or without the ability to be pre-wired. HAI controls lights and appliances by sending commands over the your existing 110VAC powerline to other UPB Modules. UPB Switches communicate with the HAI controller over that same powerline. They are two-way devices, so the controller always knows the actual status of the dimmer. In addition, UPB dimmers can be used to set scenes by triggering macros in any HAI controller. ALC Switch Modules are intended for installation in homes, which have been pre-wired for installation of ALC system products. HAI controls lights and appliances by sending commands over the ALC signal wiring to ALC Switch Modules. ALC Switches communicate with the HAI controller over low voltage sign
