What is Home Automation?  An automated home brings together security, fire, lighting, temperature control, audio, home theater, surveillance, access control, pool, spa, drapery control, sprinklers, and anything else that you want so that these systems can talk to each other and work together.  An automated home can include some or all of these components.  HAI systems focus on lighting, temperature, security, audio, and video.  In an automated home these devices work together to make the home more comfortable, more convenient, and safer.

What does HAI do?

 Everything in the house still functions normally  For example, light switches are still light switches, push the top of the paddle to turn the light on and the bottom to turn it off  Everything in the house will work by itself without the automation system  You can control any device in the house from any interface (console, touchscreen, internet, telephone) Central Control

Event Based Automation  The automation system can control devices automatically based on any event in the system. These programs are customized for the homeowner to do anything they want.  Turn front porch light on at sunset and off at midnight  Turn the light on when I enter the front door if it is after dark  When I arm the security system in AWAY turn all lights off, set back thermostat, turn off stereo  Display a message on the console to remind me it is Trash Night every Sunday and Wednesday at 9:00pm  Turn the light on in a dark hallway if someone walks through a motion detector and turn it off after 30 seconds

Button Programs  One touch Buttons or macros can be set up to perform a set of actions that are normally done at the same time. These Buttons are totally customizable and can do anything that you desire.  Go to Bed (turn all lights off, arm security in the night mode, set back thermostats, turn off audio system)  Wake Up (turn on lights in bedroom and bathroom, disarm security, turn on bathroom heater, turn on speakers in the bathroom and tune in a favorite radio station)  Dinner Party (set temperature back, dim lights in living room, dining room, turn on all outside lights, turn on all audio zones and play a CD)  Romantic Eve (dim lights in bedroom, turn on fireplace, play romantic music throughout the house)

Why do people buy Home Automation  Enhanced Security  Never walk into a dark home again  The house can react to an alarm situation  Turn on lights to scare off a would be intruder  Flash the front porch light to alert neighbors and Police or Fire  Energy Management  Save money by setting back thermostats  Schedule setbacks based on occupancy rather than time  Turn Heat or A/C on over the phone after an extended setback  Seamless and easy to use  Convenience  It is fun and easy to use  Stay in touch with your home while you are away  Elegant and affordable
