Programmable Energy Saver Modules (PESMs)

The PESM is used when you are have any thermostat, other than a HAI Communicating Thermostat, and would like to control your heating and cooling system with the OmniPro II system. The PESM is a temperature sensor and control relay in a small enclosure that mounts near your central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system thermostat. The PESM allows the OmniPro II to read the temperature of the area that the HVAC system controls. When you are away or asleep, the PESM can be set to allow the temperature to drift higher or lower to reduce the operating time, hence saving energy dollars.

The PESM provides an energy saver function. When the energy saver is on, the HVAC system is set back, meaning that the temperature is allowed to rise or fall to an energy saving level. When the energy saver is off, your thermostat operates normally. Your thermostat should be set to the desired comfort temperature. Only when the energy saver is on will the temperature be allowed to deviate from your normal thermostat setting.

There are three temperatures associated with each PESM:

Temperature - this is the air temperature read by the PESM.

Heat temperature - the air temperature will be allowed to fall to this temperature when the energy saver is on.

Cool temperature - the air temperature will be allowed to rise to this temperature when the energy saver is on.

The following control actions are allowed on PESMs:

•Turn Energy Saver On and Off

•Turn Energy Saver On and Off for a specified time

•Set heating setpoint

•Set cooling setpoint

You can turn the energy saver on, off, use a timed on/off, and change the Heat and Cool temperatures from the console or by telephone. Commands can also be programmed so that they occur by time schedule or by event, such as security mode change. For example, the system can be set up to turn the energy saver(s) On and make the Heat setback temperature 65 degrees and the Cool setback temperature 80 degrees when the alarm system is put in the Away mode. Another program can turn the energy saver(s) off (to resume normal operation of the HVAC system) at 4:30 P.M. on weekdays to make the house comfortable before arriving home. Different setback temperatures could be set for the Night mode.

NOTE: To set up your thermostat for use with a PESM, set it in the appropriate mode and set the temperature to your preference. Your heating and cooling system will always be off if you set your thermostat to Off mode. The PESM cannot turn it back on. The PESM cannot make your system cool below the thermostat's cool setting, or heat above the thermostat's heat setting.

Control actions for temperature sensors:

•Set low setpoint

•Set high setpoint

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.

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.
