Hey friends, I've got over 50 HAI 35A00-1 Dimmer Switches that have developed an annoying hum at night. Oddly it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does you can hear this study high-frequency hum/buzz coming out of the switches. Definitely audible enough that you can hear it across the...

Just purchased one of the Google Home devices, been messing around with it and IFTTT and wondering if anyone has gotten Google Home working to provide voice control for an Omnipro and possibly a Global Cache IR device.  Thinking about finally tying my home automation system together by using a...

Hey guys, thinking about creating some sort of predictive heating algorithm that ties my HAI thermostats in with the weather report. My home is a passive solar house pointed due solar south with maybe a few too many windows (hey… beautiful view… how could I not!). Problem is, on...

Hey Cocooners, Not sure if any of you remember me, but a few years back during the summer of 2010, many of you were instrumental in helping me plan out and build the automation system for my new home. I nicknamed the project Quadomated and created a website to document the building of a...

Hey folks, Little frustrated/dismayed but hoping this won't be the endof the world. My heating contractor only ran 3 wires to each of the thermostatlocations. I had requested 5 in addition to the CAT5e ran back to my OmniPro 2for use with my Omnistat 2 thermostats, but 3 is all I got. So is...

Hey folks! I'm smack dab in the middle of a very ambitious project that I've nicknamed "Quadomated" to build a passive solar smart automated home for me, a ski lift engineer who after breaking his neck in a skiing accident is paralyzed throughout the majority of my body. I've got a very cool...

What is everyone's preferred mobile platform to access the HAI OmniPro II? I've seen videos of HAI's Snap-Link interface on iPhones and Android phones, but with the pending release of Windows Phone 7 I keep finding my mind drifting towards this new phone OS and wondering how it might integrate...

Hey folks, Purchased an HAI Omnipro II a few months ago, and the walls of our new house are being built and going up as we speak. I've got a few weeks before the wiring for the electrical/security/automation stuff will start happening and wanted to get everyone's opinion on what security...

Hey folks, I think many of you may be following my blog and new home construction project at: Quadomated We're finally getting to the point where I need to start planning what wiring will go where and a proper naming convention to help keep track of everything. Was wondering if any of you...

I've been spending lots of time researching automatic door openers over the last several months and have come up with a couple thoughts: 1. There aren't many manufacturers that make them 2. They cost an awful lot of money 3. I could probably make one myself for much cheaper There seems to be...

Building a new home, maybe some of you have glanced through my Quadomated: The Building of a Smart Home for a Quadriplegic thread or possibly popped in on my blog. I'm starting to delve into researching Whole Home Surge Protection and/or Power Factor Correction devices and was wondering what...

Hey guys, Last fall I purchased a beautiful piece of land and over the next 3-6 months will be building an automated home based on a HAI OmniproII controller and whatever else I/we can figure out over that time. One thing that makes this project a little special/different than the norm is I am...
