New Orleans, LA
Home Automation, Inc. (HAI), a national manufacturer of
residential networking systems and solutions, announces the immediate release of
the latest Internet tool for HAI customers – HAI Web-Link.
With the click of a mouse, HAI Web-Link users can check on their property
using MS Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator – from any computer with
Internet access. Further, HAI Web-Link allows users to adjust settings for
lighting, heating and air, security and appliances using the familiar “point
and click” friendliness of the Internet.
As an increasing number of USA
households have access to ADSL and cable modem services, full time Internet
connections are becoming more and more common. HAI Web-Link takes advantage of
these connections and enables web-based control of in-home systems. “HAI is
proud to introduce the first practical Internet automation solution for homes
and small business” said Jay McLellan, HAI president. “[HAI Web-Link] makes
it fast and easy to check on the house, the kids, adjust the heat – right from
your office PC.”
HAI Web-Link runs in the background on
a Windows 95, 98 or NT computer connected to any HAI Omni-class controller.
HAI Web-Link software generates Web pages for the controller’s data
that can be viewed locally and on any networked computer via Internet or Local
Area Network. After installing HAI
Web-Link, no set up is required: HAI Web-Link software obtains its configuration
from the HAI controller, and presents a series of pages following the standard
HAI menu format.
The Home page presents an overall
summary of system status; the Control page displays the status of each
controllable device; and the Security page shows security system mode, zones and
conditions. The Button page is for scenes or macros; the Temperature page is
used to control and monitor heating and cooling system(s); the Events page
time-stamps activities and events; and the Message page highlights selected
messages. Each page offers
comprehensive system status and full control capability providing home control
over the Internet in a simple ‘point and click’ environment.
HAI Web-Link represents another
inexpensive tool in HAI’s best-selling family of hardware, software, protocol
and peripheral home networking solutions. HAI is the ‘Single Solution’
source with products engineered to work together and with other manufacturer’s
components – with 24 / 7 reliability.
“Go online, give it a try!”, says
McLellan, “Simply visit www.homeauto.com to see the coolest,
quickest route to real home networking.”
