An HAI automated home can provide security, temperature, lighting, and audio
control for comfort, convenience, and safety. The system may be accessed and
controlled over the telephone or over the Internet.
If you are looking for a built-in UL-Listed security and fire system in your
home control system, you want an HAI Omni family home control system. If you
do not need the built-in security system, then you want an HAI Lumina family
home control system.
Between our Omni family and Lumina family of home control systems HAI provides
enough options to meet virtually all size, sophistication and pricing requirements.
The following demonstrates what a home control system can do:
Comfort
You can control the HVAC settings of your home if you use one of HAI's Omnistat line of Communicating Thermostats. Note that these thermostats may be programmed without an HAI home control system.
Automated temperature controls allow comfortable temperatures while you are home and energy savings while you are away. You can schedule thermostat setbacks based on occupancy rather than time.
Lighting increasingly plays an important role in the elegance and comfort that a homeowner enjoys. Dining rooms, great rooms, media rooms, and home theaters all benefit from lighting scenes that set the proper mood for various activities.
HAI has a whole line of lighting control devices, called HAI Lighting Control (HLC). These devices may work independently without a home control system; however, an HAI home control system adds the ability to change your light settings by the time of day, a set schedule, by the triggering of events, via a telephone call, or by a computer connected to the Internet.
Learn How HLC Works.

Examples:
|
- During the summer the temperature setting on your Omnistat is automatically turned up when the security system is armed in the morning. It is then automatically turned down one-half hour before you normally get home in order for you to arrive home to a comfortable house.
- If you are leaving early from work, you can call into your home control system to manually set the temperature to where you want it to be when you get home.
- The bathroom lights come on at the 25% level when it is after midnight and before 6:00AM on those nights when you get up to go to the bathroom.

Convenience
For the ultimate in convenience, your HAI home control system can automate lighting sequences for "good night", "good morning", or "entertainment". Lights may be set to come on when a door is opened or when a car enters the driveway. Light up a dark hallway when motion is sensed. Enjoy lighting timed with sunset and sunrise. Set lighting levels based upon the time of the day.
Create a dramatic or relaxing effect in your home with true architectural lighting scenes to enhance your enjoyment of parties, family movie nights, or romantic dinners by using HAI Lighting Control (HLC) .
A Room Controller can control the switches in a room and let you set up to four individual scenes using different lighting levels for the lights controlled by those switches.
A House Controller allows the homeowner to turn off all indoor and/or outdoor lights on or off from a central location.
You can control your home control system through a variety of touchscreens, consoles, keypads, and other interfaces, including HAI's OmniTouch touchscreen.
The OmniTouch with Video will show video over the touchscreen. It is ideal for seeing who is at the front door, pool, garage, or nursery. You simply touch the Video icon and select one of the six cameras for display. It can automatically display the front door camera when the doorbell rings and the pool camera if motion is detected in the pool area. Also, pressing and holding the camera selection button next to the video image can release a door strike to let your visitor in!
Your HAI home control system may also be accessed via telephone or computer. Computer access may be through Windows Media Center, by modem, or over the Internet. Remote access to the system allows you to check on the status of your home or adjust lights and temperature settings.
Different music, in different rooms, for different people is one of the most exciting and fastest growing options for home entertainment. Audio control may be managed by an OmniTouch Touchscreen.

Examples:
|
- Have the closet light automatically turn on when you open its door.
- Have the porch light automatically turn on when you open the front door after dark.
- Call your home control system over the phone to make changes to your system.
- While watching a DVD on your Windows Media Center loaded with HAI Home Control software you hear the doorbell. Minimize the DVD window while you check your front door camera.
- Your dining room has a room controller lighting switch that sets four different lighting scenes, depending upon the desired activity, such as normal dining, romantic dining, food pickup, or party.
- Log into your home control system over the Internet via Web-Link II and change your temperature settings.
- Mom listens to her classic oldies radio station while preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Suzy listens to her Top 40 radio station in the family room while doing her homework. The radio station and volume are all controlled through an OmniTouch console.

Safety
An HAI Omni-family home control system is a fully functioning UL-listed security system - only smarter! The Omni-family system monitors and alerts you of intrusion, fire, carbon monoxide, freezing conditions, water leaks, etc.
In the event of a fire, the air conditioning is turned off to deter the spread of smoke and fire. You can also set the system to turn on all of the lights in the house to aid in your family's safe exit.
An HAI home control system may be set up to make outbound phone calls when certain trigger events occur. Also, the home control system (when working with our Web-link II software) may send out e-mails when triggering events occur.
|
Examples:
|
- Never walk into a dark home again.
- Lighting and audio controls can make a vacant home look and sound occupied.
- You could set your Omni home control system to automatically call you at work when your child comes home from school and keys in his security code into the security system.
- View video camera feeds using HAI Web-Link II software.
