3 What is Home Automation? What is an automated home? An automated home adjusts the security, cooling, heating, and lighting automatically for comfort, energy savings, and convenience. An HAI home automation system greatly increases the value, safety, and efficiency of your home. Is the system easy to understand and operate? Very. If you know how to use a basic security system, you already know how to operate an HAI home automation system. Even young children can learn and understand how to use the basic features of the system. Day-to-day events are controlled with one button, such as Day, Night or Away; while more specific activities are menu driven to change temperature, lights, etc. Can the system be controlled over the telephone or Internet? Yes. All HAI systems can be accessed and controlled over the telephone, either from within or away from home, and over the Internet. Check and adjust lights, temperature, and security from your phone and/or computer. Telephone Not only can you call to check on the status of your home over the telephone, but your system can actually contact you! Program your system to call you over the phone to inform you when your children have arrived home from school or if the alarm has gone off. Internet We even offer video surveillance capabilities over the Internet, so you can get a visual check of your home via your office PC, PDA, or web-enabled phone. Receive s or text messages to inform you of what is happening at home.

4 What is Home Automation? Can the system be easily expanded later if my needs change? Yes. You can expand and customize your home automation system now, or at any time in the future. You can add Touchscreens, voice recognition controls, remotes, or Whole Home Audio and home theater controls. Your HAI dealer can discuss and advise you as to what options might be best for you. How long has this technology been available? HAI has been manufacturing its award-winning line of home automation systems and accessories since Since that time, many homeowners around the world have been enjoying the energy savings, safety, comfort, and convenience of home automation from the most established and respected manufacturer in the industry. Is the system expensive? The cost varies depending on the size of your home and your needs. Typical cost of a basic HAI home control system ranges from $1 to $2 per square foot, depending on options. Installation and programming are not included. Your HAI dealer will evaluate your home and your family s needs to customize an economical package that is just right for you.

5 Reliability & Approvals Omni or Lumina controller, everything in the house will function as normal. For example, light switches still control the lights and thermostats still control your heating and cooling system. There is no single part that can cause an entire system to fail. That is not true of many of our competitors products. HAI uses embedded controller technology in its home control systems, a technology proven to be reliable with decades of use. We still have many of our first generation controllers in use, some of them have been installed and running continuously since 1988! Some of our competitors use personal computers, which have a useful life of 3-5 years. Wouldn t you like a system that will last longer than 3 years? All HAI products will work in a stand-alone fashion so they are not dependent on any other products in the house. If you have a leaky roof that short circuits your HAI makes sure that all of our products are tested to the highest industry standards to ensure reliability and safety. To ensure the highest quality, HAI has products tested by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the most stringent test lab in North America. Many of our competitors refuse or are unable to meet these strict requirements. In addition to meeting UL requirements, HAI also meets CE requirements. In most cases the requirements and testing for CE are more difficult, but HAI goes the extra distance to ensure the highest quality product available. Approvals UL Residential Fire and Burglary (Omni family) UL Commercial Burglary (OmniPro II & Omni IIe) UL Energy Management (Lumina family & Omnistats) FCC Part 15J, Part 68 (Omni & Lumina families) California Title 24 Compliant (Omni & Lumina families) California State Fire Marshall (Omni family) CP-01 Compliant (Omni family) CE (European Standard - Omni & Lumina families) IS-60 (Canadian Standard - Omni & Lumina families) HAI is an ENERGY STAR Partner and all Omnistats meet the Environmental Protection Agency s ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

6 Designing a Home Automation System Step 1: Choose Your Home Controller Do you want security included in your home control system? long as you have standard residential wiring (120/240V electrical system with a neutral wire at each switch location). If you are looking for a built-in UL Listed burglar and fire system, choose an HAI Omni family home control system. The Omni family of home control systems includes the OmniPro II, the Omni IIe, and the Omni LT. If security is not necessary or if you already have a security system, choose an HAI Lumina family home control system. The Lumina family can integrate with many security systems and includes all of the other great features that HAI home control systems support. The Lumina line includes the Lumina Pro and the Lumina.

There is no need to run new wires as Our Omni and Lumina families of home control systems have built-in support for UPB so there is no need to add on any modules for lighting. To design a lighting control system, simply choose a dimmer or switch from our HLC product line for each load in your home. For example: choose a 600 W UPB Dimmer Switch for a load that is less than 600 Watts. Step 3: Whole Home Audio If you are interested in Whole Home Audio, HAI offers Hi-Fi by HAI, which connects to any of our Omni family or Lumina family controllers.
