CONTROL
Control Commands
The control features of the OmniPro II make it easy and convenient to control almost any light or appliance from the console or
over the telephone. You may also have your heating and air conditioning (HVAC) under control of the system, which will allow
you to save energy dollars by setting the temperature appropriately when you are home, asleep, or away.
Furthermore, the OmniPro II can be used to program lights to make the home or business look occupied as a deterrent to thieves.
The methods that the OmniPro II uses to control different devices are:
• UPB switches, modules, and keypads for lights and appliances
• Z-Wave lighting devices (such as Leviton's ViziaRF series of lighting control devices)
• CentraLite loads and relays on a LiteJet and Elegance lighting system
• RadioRA switches and dimmers on a Lutron RadioRA lighting system
• ALC switch modules for lights and appliances
• X-10 compatible modules (X-10, X-10 Pro, Leviton, PCS, ACT, Lightolier, etc.) for lights and small appliances.
• LEVITON Communicating Thermostats for controlling Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Systems.
• Programmable Energy Saver Modules (PESM) for central heating and air conditioning systems.
• Direct Output Control for relays to activate sprinklers, lighting, electric heating, etc.
An OmniPro II will control:
 250 UPB switches, modules, and keypads (up to 31 rooms of HLC Lighting)
 232 Z-Wave lighting devices
 192 CentraLite loads and relays
 64 RadioRA switches and dimmers
 248 ALC switch modules
 256 X-10 compatible modules (all sixteen house codes)
 64 LEVITON Communicating Thermostats
 8 PESMs or Voltage Outputs (expandable to 136)
OmniPro II also has 119 internal "flags" that are used for programming conditionals and executing programs.
About UPB
UPB is a powerline communications standard for lighting and home control. UPB is a robust, two-way digital powerline carrier
communications protocol which transmits signals over the existing wires in a home. UPB can coexist peacefully with X-10
systems, intercoms, baby monitors, speakers, etc. that communicate over the powerline.
Using a Powerline Interface Module (PIM), OmniPro II sends UPB commands over the existing electrical wiring to special
switches, modules, and keypad controllers (UPB devices) that are designed with UPB technology. UPB switches are two-way
devices, so OmniPro II knows the actual status of the switch when it is controlled locally. In addition, UPB switches, modules,
and keypads can be used to trigger macros in the OmniPro II controller.
