    On HAI Omni, are status changes written to flash memory, or just to memory ?

    Most electronic devices aren't needed for 50 years or more, but I have 23 years on an OMNI and don't plan on letting it go anytime soon. I have just added some programming that uses an incremental counter that updates a flag value every 4 minutes. Writing data to the same memory-address in...

    How to future-proof a home dependent on HAI Omni ?

    We rewired our 100 year old cabin when it was stripped to the studs in a major renovation. Foolishly, I had the 120v wiring done with no manual switches for some lighting circuits, centralized switching at the panel for some lighting circuits and some conventional in-the-room switches in some...

    Some HAI UPB switches and keypads slowly stop working - over the years

    I received a message that "you cant receive additional messages" This is what I said . . but couldn't send. I am Steve. Our HAI system is in Deerwood Minnesota. My only issue is a few HAI switches and the 6 button keypads that quit working. The last time I checked, on one of the switches...

    Some HAI UPB switches and keypads slowly stop working - over the years

    I have 15 HAI switches and three 6 button keypads. All UPB programmed control worked well for a few years and then a few became intermittent or quit accepting commands. I also have about twenty X10 devices and they have always worked from day 1. I believe someone suggested some type of repeater...

    Upgrade from OMNI IIe to OMNI Pro

      Your answer "implies" that the OMNI IIe configuration file is compatible with OMNI Pro.   So I don't make a mistake of buying something I won't use,  can you confirm compatibility ?  Should I be looking for an OMNI Pro II , rather than just an OMNI Pro ?   Thank You

    Upgrade from OMNI IIe to OMNI Pro

    Can the program file from an updated OMNI IIe load into an OMNI Pro ?    I have all 500 lines of code used on the OMNI IIe and don't want to start over with a "blank sheet".   Can get used OMNI-Pros on ebay.

    How to "future proof" our HAI home for the next owner (our grand kids)

    Does the Elk M1G replace the HAI panel for Automation programming ?   And is there such a thing a Z-wave keypads that can trigger "programs" on HAI  or Elk ?.

    How to "future proof" our HAI home for the next owner (our grand kids)

    My wife keeps asking who am I going to call when you are gone ?  ( I am 75 and this vacation home will eventually be in the hands of other family members )  There is no-one to call anywhere in Minnesota.   This  part-time second home has almost everything controlled by an HAI Omni-IIe, including...

    How to get Humidity to display in HAI Omni Clients

    The three hour interval is to keep it from switching off/on/off every hour if the humidity reading oscillates between 50 and 51 and 50 every hour for while. The reason a built in humidistat doesn't work is because the dry air is being drawn into the crawl space from the "dry" room with a large...

    How to get Humidity to display in HAI Omni Clients

    Yes, I can see the Thermostat-Humidity now in the OMNILINK app.    Thanks.   I have a programming question . .    We have an intermittent condition where we need to dehumidify in the winter, related to ground water raising the humidity in shallow dirt-floor crawlspace  (this is a 100 year old...

    How to get Humidity to display in HAI Omni Clients

    You are probably way ahead of me on this . .  do you have a free no-ip account ?   It requires that you perform a "Hostname Confirmation" every 30 days . . or it "dies".   When you ping your No-Ip url, does it ping the correct IP ?    This is my own  "what is my IP" site that is free of ads etc...

    How to get Humidity to display in HAI Omni Clients

    I can't find a way to see the current humidity level using Web-Link or the mobile apps.  The only way to see the current humidity level is to go into the PC-Access program while it is connected to the controller.     Does anyone know a way to get there with an app ?   This is from PC-Access . ...

    Finally HAI Web-Link is working again - a huge relief

    Thanks to the member Cocooner   Revive a compatible WEB-LINK client with Windows XP on Oracle VirtualBox. (very easy with YouTube video mentioned below)      Anyone who relied on HAI Web-Link remembers that it slowly became less useful early in Windows 7 because HAI decided to stop supporting it...

    Home Automation - the home will outlast its brain - then what ?

    10 years ago we rebuilt a family cabin and re-wired it to control Lighting/HVAC/Well-Pump and Other with an HAI OMNI-II system. I made a 2 year hobby out of programming the system including lighting-scene automation based on the security-modes and about 8 exterior motion detectors. I just now...

    OMNI IIe remote control feature problems (not networking issues)

      I was finally able to access RULES on Web-Link - well enough to create new rules, but none of the editing or deleting functions work.   So I created an emtpy RULEINFO.DAT file and built new rules.   I don't need Web-Link for daily use, so I will just leave things the way they are.  I am sure...

    OMNI IIe remote control feature problems (not networking issues)

        Web-Link has been running on Windows 7 Pro since I first installed it.  We stopped using it because IE stopped working many years ago, I believe because .asp was no longer installed on the client.   Recently after installing .asp support on a Windows client, we get this home page - missing...

    OMNI IIe remote control feature problems (not networking issues)

    I got Web-link II working by installing .asp support on my browser, BUT I DON'T get the Web-Link home page with RULES, CAMERAS, VIDEOS ETC at the top.  I get the home page with the main menu choices in the left column instead of the top and no top-level menu.  Its page id "0" I still get the...

    Neither PCAccess or Upstart can find module in setup

    After years of perfect operation, most of our HAI Switches and all of our 6 button keypads stopped working.  Both PIMs (one for Upstart) had always been plugged into a dedicated outlet for the HAI security system.  But when experimenting with Phase, even with an HAI phase coupler, different...
