Simply Automated UMC-DB9-W Computer Interface Module

Self-Installable Interface for UPB-Controlled Devices

Model UMC is a plug-in module that enables computer-based configuration and control of household lighting, appliances and other devices over the powerline. The module communicates using the highly-reliable Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) technology. UPB devices such as Model UMC are easily integrated to provide a flexible, low-cost alternative to hardwired or RF home automation strategies.

Model UMC receives and transmits UPB digital commands and converts these signals to a serial RS-232C interface format. Installation is simple: the module is plugged into a standard 120VAC outlet and the serial port of the computer or server is connected to the module using a standard DB-9 cable. With appropriate software, the computer can then be used to configure and/or control UPB devices in the home. A pass-through (non-contolled) power outlet is provided on the face of the module.
