Universal powerline bus

**Universal Powerline Bus** ( **UPB** ) ni porotokole ya porogaramu yihaariye yakozwe na Powerline Control Sisitemu  kugira ngo ikoreshe  itumanaho rinyuzwa mu miyoboro y'amashanyarazi hagati y'ibikoresho bikoreshwa ubwenge mu rugo (home automation) . Amashanyarazi yo murugo akoreshwa mu kohereza amakuru ya digitale hagati yibikoresho bya UPB ukoresheje pulse-imyanya . 

Itumanaho ni urungano rw'urungano, nta mugenzuzi mukuru ukenewe. 

Aderesi ya UPB yemerera ibikoresho 250 mu nzu hamwe n'amazu 250 kuri transformateur, yemerera aderesi zose zirenga 62.500 kandi irashobora kubana n'izindi sisitemu zitwara amashanyarazi mu'rugo rumwe.  

kuva mu mwaka wa 2018,UPB yari ifite ubwoko bwinshi cyane bw'ibikoresho ugereranyije n'izindi porotokole nyinshi, kandi ishyigikiwe n'abakora ibikoresho bakomeye mu rwegorwa home automation. muri abo bakora ibikoresho, harimo cyane cyane Leviton hamwe n'ibicuruzwa byayo byo mu murongo wa Omni series by'ihuzanzira ry'ibikoresho byo mu rugo, kimwe n'ibikoresho bya UPB basanzwe bacuruza. UPB inashyigikirwa kandi n'abakora porogaramu nyinshi zikoresha home automation, bamwe muri bo bakaba barashyizwe ku rutonde rukurikira.

## Kwizerwa
UPB ni protocole yizewe cyane  yo gutangiza urugo. Ntabwo byoroshye kwivanga kwa RF, guhagarika ibimenyetso kurukuta cyangwa ibibazo bigufi byo gutangaza nka protocole zimwe na zimwe. UPB yanduza insinga zisanzweho kandi ifite urusaku runini rwo kugabanya urusaku. Ibi bituma ishobora gukora urugendo rurerure nta kibazo, ndetse no mu mashanyarazi menshi, bigatuma iba nziza kumazu manini cyane. Ibikoresho bisanzwe byibasiye X10 ibikoresho, mubisanzwe ntabwo bigira ingaruka kuri UPB. Mubyukuri, ibimenyetso bya UPB birashobora kwakirwa neza nigikoresho cyabigenewe kabone niyo haba hari urusaku rwinshi rwamashanyarazi kumurongo w'amashanyarazi. Ariko, mugihe ibikoresho murugo bitera kwivanga gukabije mugihe ukora, akayunguruzo k'urusaku ruhendutse rushobora gukoreshwa ku mwanya w'amashanyarazi kugirango ukemure ikibazo.

## Imikoranire
As of 2025[update], control of UPB devices is supported by the Hubitat via open source UPBeat drivers by Xeren.io.

As of 2020[update], control of UPB devices is supported by the Home Assistant open source software (in version 0.110 and later).

As of 2017[update], control of UPB devices is supported by the OpenHAB open source software.

HomeSeer ni porogaramu izwi cyane yubucuruzi yo murugo ikoresha porogaramu ifite inkunga ya UPB.

Inkunga ya porogaramu igendanwa (IOS na Android) irahari ukoresheje PulseWorx Gateway (PGW) icomeka muri module.

Ibicuruzwa byerekana amajwi nka Alexa, Automatic Living's HAL hamwe na Assistant wa Google bishyigikirwa haba mu buryo butaziguye cyangwa butaziguye binyuze mu gikoresho cyangwa kugenzura imashini.

UPB irashobora kubana nubundi buryo bwa tekinoroji. Irashobora kandi gukorana nibindi bikoresho byikora byifashisha RF (kurugero) binyuze mugukoresha protocole nyinshi yo kugenzura ibintu (Reba Leviton Omni, ibikoresho bya HomeSeer). Ibi bituma sisitemu yo kuvanga ikorana buhanga kugirango igere neza mubikoresho byamasomo kuva mubakora byinshi. Ariko, bitandukanye na protocole nyinshi zidafite umugozi, UPB ntisaba kugenzura imashini cyangwa hub gukora.

Kubera ko UPB ari urungano rwurungano, protocole yumuntu ku giti cye, abashinzwe kugenzura ibintu hamwe n'ubwoko butandukanye bwo gucomeka module birashobora gutegurwa kugiti cye gukora imirimo myinshi bitabaye ngombwa ko ugura hub cyangwa umugenzuzi. Ingero zimwe zibikorwa zishobora kugerwaho nta hub cyangwa umugenzuzi byaba

* igihe cyo gufunga igihe cyo gufana ubwiherero (igihe cyo gucomeka muri module cyangwa guhinduranya ibintu byerekana igihe cyubatswe)
* kuzimya amatara cyangwa kuzimya ukurikije fotokeli yerekana urumuri rw'izuba (I / O plug-in module)
* fungura itara rimwe hamwe na kanda imwe ya switch hanyuma ufungure urundi rumuri rwamatara cyangwa ibikoresho kuri kanda ebyiri ya switch (dimmer switch)
* kuzimya / kuzimya igituba gishyushye (kugenzura ibintu)
* byinshi byateganijwe mbere yo gucana urumuri (sisitemu yo kugenzura ibintu)
* kuzimya / kuzimya igikoresho gifite moteri (switch ya relay).

hari ibikoresho bigenzura uburyo amatara cyangwa ibindi bikoresho bikora (scene controllers) bifite sensor za infrared (IR) zishyirwamo imbere, kandi ibyo bikoresho biraboneka ku isoko. Ibi bituma habaho porogaramu imwe ya kure igenzurwa (kwisi yose) nkibyakozwe na Logitech kugenzura amatara na tereviziyo cyangwa ibindi bikoresho byitangazamakuru.

## AMASHAKORO
Ibikurikira nurutonde rwabakora ibikoresho bya UPB. Uru ntabwo arurutonde rwuzuye:

* Umurongo wa Leviton HLC ubu wagurishijwe na PCS
* Sisitemu yo kugenzura amashanyarazi PulseWorx umurongo
* Urubuga Umusozi uhwanye nibicuruzwa bigurishwa na PCS
