Usage

The HAI UPB™ 1500W Switch is capable of storing up to 16 preset light levels to create powerful lighting scenes. It is capable of being set to a non-dimming mode (see Configuration Software below) in order to control loads, such as fluorescent lights, that do not belong on a dimming switch.

HLC Products work as stand-alone or with a Home Control System.

An HAI home control system has the ability to change your light settings by the time of day, a set schedule, by the triggering of events (including motion), via a telephone call, Touchscreen, Smartphone, or by a computer connected to the Internet.
