Home Automation Inc. (HAI) of Albita Springs, La., announces the Omni IIe, an upgrade to its Omni II home automation controller. This upgrade has all the functions and benefits associated with the Omni II, including UL-Listed security, telephone access and temperature and lighting control, plus the addition of Ethernet connectivity via three built-in serial ports.
The Omni IIe upgrade also simplifies wiring to in-home computers because no serial cable is required. Included with the upgrade kit is a Powerline interface module (PIM) for the new HAI UPB-based lighting control system, commonly referred to as HAI lighting control (HLC). The PIM plugs directly into the third built-in serial port without requiring a port expander.
