PCS PulseWorx vs My Leviton

PCS PulseWorx is a companion app for the PulseWorx Gateway house controller. Installed in a UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) installation, the PulseWorx Gateway allow access to the installation remotely and once connected to view the status of all UPB devices and control them. Control is by simple “tap on” and “tap off” directly from the room icons display. A long tap on a device icon opens a control panel specifically for that device. For a dimmable device a slider lets you set the level. For a keypad a virtual keypad is in the popup to allow “pushing” a key to carry out the same action as when pressing keys on the physical keypad. Additional, with this app you can adjust the configuration autonomous scheduler in the Gateway and select from one of the four schedule to be active. For a video of how to setup and use the app, see here: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTgfWjN1jVY Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQUaBZK5t3c Since this app works with hardware you must have installed in the UPB installation, see http://www.pcslighting.com/ in the PulseWorx section for information on configuring and purchasing that hardware.
