Designing a Home Automation System Part 1 of 5:Wiring September, 2011
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?
Do I need to pull wires to have Home Automation? The answer to this question is increasingly “No” for most categories of home automation technology. Security, Surveillance, Energy Management, Lighting Control, and Control Interfaces have more wireless options available every year. If you are building a new home, remodeling, or have access to run wires most professional installers will recommend that you do so for maximum reliability.
Structured Wiring Structured wiring enclosures provides security, temperature, lighting, audio, video, voice, and data from one central location Allows for centralized infrastructure of all low voltage wiring in the home Use any Cat 5 wire in the house to add automation features like touchscreens to any room Reliable, flexible, expandable and upgradeable
What kind of wire do I need? The most common types of wire used in home automation are: Cat5,Cat5e,Cat6 for networking and serial connections 22/2, 22/4 for security and low voltage control 16/2, 14/2 for speakers and low voltage control RG59 for traditional CCTV cameras Some other wire types for specialty applications
What devices use Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6? Devices that use IP networking Omni/Lumina Controllers OmniTouch 5.7e IP Camera IP Camera Server IP Door Station HTX Hi-Fi 2 Music Gateway
Omni/Lumina IP devices are all connected to a router or switch just like computers on a network. This connection allows IP enabled devices like touchscreens and iPhones to control your home automation system
Hi-Fi 2 Run a Cat-5 from the top right hand input on the Hi- Fi 2 Main Board Assembly your router or switch Once connected you can view metadata from the Music Gateway or HAI Dock as well as control what song you are listening to from the VSC

Power Over Ethernet PoE devices are connected to a special power injector or switch that provides both data and power to the device over a single cable.
One Port PoE Injector Powers a single PoE device like a 5.7e or HTX IEEE 802.3af
8 Port PoE Switch Complies with IEEE 802.3af Powers up to 7 OmniTouch 5.7e 15.4 watts per port for devices such as HTX, PoE IP cameras, and PoE access points

ZigBee 81A00-2WHZB MicroControl allows remote control over other HAI ZigBee products and can be used as a stand alone device without Omni/Lumina 81A00-3WHZB ZIM is designed to connect to Omni/Lumina with included serial cable and must be placed 6 ft from the controller
PIM Powerline Interface Module Plugs into HAI controller serial port Sends and receives UPB signals over the powerline Can also be connected to PC for advanced configuration of HLC system – Use UPStart and 36A05-2 PIM to PC Connector and Cable
117A00-1 Omni-Bus Interface Translator Acts as a gateway between Omni/Lumina and Omni-Bus Lighting RS-232 Serial interface
Hi-Fi 2 RIM Installation Run a Cat-5 cable from the back of the RIM to the Hi-Fi 2 Main Board Assembly The maximum distance for one Cat-5 run from a RIM to the Hi-Fi 2 Main Unit is 500 feet
Hi-Fi 2 VSC Installation Run a Cat-5 cable from the back of the VSC to the Zone you’d like to control on the Hi-Fi 2 Main Board Assembly Each VSC must be configured to a specific zone address (1-8) to establish its location.
Phone Cord Tip: When connecting to a PC via a serial connection it is often necessary to extend the distance of the phone cord. A phone cord and data cord are NOT the same. Use standard structured wiring jacks and terminations. Be certain to use only 1 phone cord Phone Cord 1234 Data Cord Serial Connection
Serial Adapters DB9 type serial adapters are available in a wide variety of configurations Use when connecting third party systems to Omni or Lumina serial ports
Serial Expansion Add and additional RS232 or RS485 serial port to any controller Mounts directly to controller
22/2 and 22/4 for Security Applications Security devices are designed to use low cost 22/2 and 22/4 wire for connecting devices such as: Power Transformers Door and Window Contacts Smoke Detectors Motion Sensors Glass Break Sensors Water Sensors IR Beam Sensors
Power & Ground Ground to good earth ground with thick wire for surge/lightning protection. Connect transformer (use a good one with self reset capabilities) Omni II and Pro II use 24 volt transformers Omni LT uses 16 volt transformer 40 VA transformer Lumina systems include a transformer and battery
