Teken Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 It was suggested that a new thread be created to track this new product offering from UDI. I, as many others, believe if this new product is still in development stages that it needs to have the following features and methods to communicate. Be Insteon ready and capable of supporting, RF, WiFi, Ethernet. The device should be wired and capable of supporting up to 30 amps using SSR (Optical Relays) for both N.O. & N.C contacts. The product should have a status LED to show what state it is in and what contact type is in use. The device should have a local control button to activate and disable the load in question. If there are any other options I may have missed please do chime in and place your thoughts here. The original thread is located here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/14162-id-like-to-relay-something-to-you/ I hope these features can be reviewed and considered for development. As having a UDI developed relay device that can be deployed will be 99999999999% better than the Smarthome version which has proven to be completely unreliable for long term use located here: http://www.smarthome.com/220v-240v-30-amp-insteon-load-controller-normally-open-relay-dual-band.html
larryllix Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Even if the relay device was just Ethernet/LAN operated it could be operated from other devices than ISY and may open a market for a no-related to ISY product. POE may be a good market too.
Teken Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Looks like its available for purchase for $175.XX USD. https://www.universal-devices.com/sales/ Perhaps the future might grace us with a more consumer friendly device which takes into account more ampacity and connectivity selections.
Michel Kohanim Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Hello Teken, This product offering has morphed into something entirely different based on our EM3: 1. 4 relay output 2. 2 temp sensors or other sensors 3. 2 pulse count or 1 KYZ 4. 5 channel 3 phase energy monitor with self sensing voltage support of 470 5. Optional Z-WAVE or Zigbee It's working pretty well. If anyone wants a link to our lab please let me know. With kind regards, Michel
Teken Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 I would love to see and learn more please do fire off a link for review. Hope very much it has photo's for review purposes.
larryllix Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Sounds pretty energy based targeted with a KYZ input and 5 channels of power measurement. The 470 volts has me a bit puzzled. Not high enough for many industrial/commercial systems but more than required for 208/240vac systems.
Michel Kohanim Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Guys, I'll send you emails with the link. With kind regards, Michel
Teken Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 Michel, Much thanks for the link to the test system it was great to be able to see some of the Admin UI perspective. Are there photo's of this unit besides what Mike has listed in the other thread? As I gather its outer casing has also morphed into something completely different. Also, is this product market ready now and what is the expected retail price for this module?

Not high enough for many industrial/commercial systems but more than required for 208/240vac systems. That's for use on three phase systems.
larryllix Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That's for use on three phase systems. Much of North America has 600 vac delta systems and 440 systems are not used. 470vac would be good for 600/360 vac or 440/xx systems but not for so much 600v delta stuff out there yet.

I think we ought to go to 24 vdc. It works on ships and aircraft really well.
Michel Kohanim Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Hi Teken, Thank you. Image attached. We have 3 units and some on sales order. Not fully in production yet. With kind regards, Michel
Exten Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 POE is the ticket. I don't buy wallwarts anymore (if I can avoid it which is hard to do.) All my home switches are POE, along with my security cameras.

All my home switches are POE, along with my security cameras. As I understand it POE is specific to each item connected. IOW The POE power supply has to match the load and it is not generic. Some high voltages are used and may not be compatible between devices connected.
