Set Up Voice

The OmniPro II can be set up to speak descriptive names such as "FRONT DOOR" for control zones, units, buttons, codes, temperatures, areas, and messages. These names will be spoken over the telephone along with the item number that is normally spoken. Voice descriptions for messages can be spoken over a speaker when used with a Two-Way Audio Module.

To enter the Set Up Voice menu, from the Setup menu, press the 8 (VOICE) key.

SET UP VOICE

1=CTRL 2=ZONE 3=BTTN

Select the item that you would like to give a voice description. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of names.

To enter a voice description, enter the code shown next to the voice description in Appendix C for each description (word or group of words), then press the ' # ' key. After you have entered the complete description for each item (unit, zone, button, code, temperature, area, and message), press the ' # ' key twice. You may enter up to six (6) descriptions (word or group of words) for each unit, zone, button, code, temperature, area, and message.

UNIT 1

VOICE:

144 109

When Unit 1 is spoken over the phone, the OmniPro II will say, "UNIT 1 - PORCH LIGHT".

Set Up Address

The final setup item is accomplished over the telephone. This is the address that the system says when it dials out in an emergency. Your voice will be recorded on computer chips in the OmniPro II controller and saved to be played back in the emergency message when the system dials out for an alarm.

Pick up an inside phone and press the ' # ' key on the telephone within 5 seconds of picking up the phone. The OmniPro II will respond with a menu. Press 8 on the telephone keypad, then 8. The unit will say "ADDRESS IS:" then the OmniPro II will play back the message stored in the Address memory if one has been entered by your installer.

To record your address, Press 9, then enter the Master Code. The OmniPro II will say "RECORD ADDRESS", then BEEP. In a normal tone of voice, say your name and address and any helpful information for locating your house.

"THE JONES RESIDENCE, 1234 JOHNSON STREET, CORNER OF JOHNSON AND THIRD STREET"

The unit will beep after 8 seconds, then play the address back to you. If you are not happy with the sound, re-record by pressing 9 and the Master Code. If you would like to hear the address again, press 8 for Play Address.

If you accidentally press 9 but have not entered your master code and do not wish to record a new address, simply hang up the phone. The address can be recorded from a local (in house) phone or a remote phone. We suggest using a local phone for higher sound quality.

!When the OmniPro II says "record address - beep" any previous address recorded on your system is erased. Always verify that you have your name and address in your system if you have entered this function.

!When recording the address, do not press any touch-tone keys on your phone until the second beep, indicating that recording is complete. This will cause improper operation when the system dials out. The OmniPro II will think that the tone is a code being entered by the called party and it will stop talking.

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.
