About
Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) is a built-in integration that controls UPB lights and scenes locally. It connects through a UPB PIM, using either a serial port or a network address, and reads device definitions from an UPStart export file. Lights and scenes appear in Home Assistant as light and scene entities. Beyond basic control, it offers actions to blink a light or a link, start and stop fades on lights and links, and deactivate a link. Another action sets a link to a chosen brightness. Setup is done in the user interface.
