Buttons
A powerful feature of the OmniPro II is the ability to program Buttons. A Button (also known as macro) is a number on the keypad that is programmed to execute a series of commands when it is pressed. Buttons are used to program functions that are specific to your home and lifestyle.
Using a button, you can activate several commands at once. You can personalize 128 buttons with descriptive names. The following are some examples of programmed Buttons:
Leave for Work (Button 1):
-turn off all lights
-set thermostat to energy saving settings
-arm the security system in the Away mode
Go to Bed (Button 2):
-turn off all lights
-dim outdoor lights 20% to extend bulb life and reduce consumption
-arm security in Night mode
Dinner for Two (Button 3):
-dim the dining and living room lights
-turn on the porch light
-turn off all the bedroom lights
-dim the den light
-turn on the stereo

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,
