To activate a preprogrammed button, from the top-level display or from the main menu, press the 3 (BTTN) key on the console keypad. Select the button (macro) to be activated by using the arrow keys to scroll through a list of buttons, followed by ' # '.

For extra convenience, event buttons are automatically activated when you change security modes, or when security zones open and close. This powerful feature allows you to set your system up so that control functions are performed when you arm your security system (such as turning off all lights and setting back the HVAC system). Door contacts and motion detectors can be used to turn on lighting automatically, then turn it off a few minutes after the person has left, and then only if it's dark.

Temperature Control

Your OmniPro II can control temperatures of your heating and cooling system, monitor the outside temperature, and detect high and low temperatures in special situations. Other appliances can be controlled by temperature as well - such as a bathroom heater or a ceiling fan.

The temperature menu is used to control HAI Communicating Thermostats, Programmable Energy Saver Modules, and Temperature Sensors. The status of each of these may also be displayed on the console.

HAI Communicating Thermostats and the Programmable Energy Saver Module (PESM) provides energy savings, comfort, and convenience by setting the HVAC system(s) to the proper temperature based on whether you are home, asleep, away, or vacation. The temperature can be reported as well as controlled over any telephone. A freeze alarm feature will cause a dial out if the temperature falls below a preset level.

The HAI Communicating Thermostats are digital heating and cooling thermostats that can be controlled be the user and by remote control. There are models for conventional single stage (gas or electric), heat pumps, and multi stage heating and cooling systems. All models offer programmability, stand-alone operation, and robust communication to the OmniPro II system.

HAI RC-Series Thermostats

The following control actions are allowed for HAI Communicating Thermostats:

•Set heating setpoints

•Set cooling setpoints

•Set system mode (Off / Heat / Cool / Auto)

•Set fan (On / Auto)

•Turn hold On and Off

NOTE: Not all actions are applicable to every type of thermostat.

To enter the temperature menu, from the top-level display or from the main menu, press the 5 (TEMP) key on the console keypad.

You will be prompted with the first named temperature zone (i.e. Upstairs). The temperature zone can be specified by entering the temperature zone number followed by the ' # ' key, or by pressing the arrow keys to scroll through the list of temperature zones. Press the ' # ' key when the desired temperature zone is shown.

Press the ' 0 ' key to select all HAI Thermostats. This is a simple way to broadcast the new Heat or Cool setting or change the system mode, fan mode, or hold mode of all HAI thermostats in your system. Temperature zones 1-64 are for HAI thermostats.

ENTER TEMP ZONE 0=ALL ↓

After the ' # ' key is pressed, a menu appropriate for the type of temperature zone is shown. For Celsius temperatures, press the

'# ' key prior to entering the temperature to make the number negative. The Celsius temperature may also be specified in 0.5 degree steps, if three numeric digits are entered. The third digit adds a .5 to the first two digits, if it is anything other than zero. Enter a leading zero, if necessary.

II specifications

Home Automation II represents the next evolution in smart home technology, providing users with greater flexibility, convenience, and security through advanced features and integrated systems. This smart home revolution focuses on the seamless interaction of devices and the automation of daily tasks, ultimately enhancing the overall living experience.

One of the key features of Home Automation II is interoperability among a wide range of devices. This enables homeowners to control lights, thermostats, security cameras, and other appliances from a single platform. Whether through smartphones, tablets, or voice-activated assistants, users can easily manage their home environment, monitor energy consumption, and receive real-time notifications. This level of integration not only simplifies operation but also creates a more cohesive smart home ecosystem.

Another significant aspect of Home Automation II is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies learn a homeowner’s habits and preferences, allowing the system to adapt automatically. For example, the thermostat can adjust temperatures based on the time of day and occupancy patterns, while lighting systems can simulate human presence when residents are away. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency, leading to potential cost savings in utility bills.

Home Automation II offers enhanced security features as well. Smart locks, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors can all be integrated into the home’s network. This allows homeowners to monitor their property remotely, receive security alerts, and even grant access to visitors through mobile apps. Biometric security options, such as facial recognition, are also becoming more common, adding an extra layer of protection.

Furthermore, energy management technologies are a hallmark of Home Automation II. Smart plugs and sensors monitor energy use, providing insights to homeowners about how to reduce consumption. Advanced systems can even automate energy distribution, shifting usage to off-peak hours to alleviate strain on local grids and maximize efficiency.

Finally, voice control has become a prominent feature in Home Automation II, allowing users to operate devices hands-free. Integration with voice-activated platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri adds another layer of convenience, making it easy to control multiple aspects of the home with simple voice commands.

In conclusion, Home Automation II represents a significant step forward in creating intelligent spaces that are responsive to the needs of their users. Through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, enhanced security measures, energy management, and intuitive control options, the concept of a smart home is evolving into a more accessible and efficient reality.
