New Orleans, LA
HAI, the leading manufacturer
of integrated security and home automation products since 1985, announced at the
EH Expo in Long Beach, CA, that its Omni Family controllers will now support
both Lutron RadioRA and the new Universal Powerline Bus (UPB) technology.
Lutron's RadioRA dimmers are a favorite of custom
electrical installers for high performance and good looks. RadioRA uses
innovative radio-frequency communication technology and built-in safeguards to
ensure reliable wireless communication between all system components. RadioRA
can be installed in any home, including existing homes, late-stage construction,
and new homes - without rewiring.
UPB technology is the next
generation of powerline carrier technology, using a new digital transmission
format with the range and reliability required by professional installers in
large custom homes. Developed by industry veteran PCS Lighting of Northridge,
CA., UPB has been extensively field tested, with products in use in commercial
and now, residential applications.
HAI's award-winning Omni
controllers currently have integrated support of Leviton DHC, Lightolier
Compose, Advanced Lighting Control (ALC), Smarthome Mfg., and X-10 Pro.
"HAI remains committed to
advancing the state of the art in reliability and ease of installation for home
and small commercial automation systems", explains HAI President Jay McLellan.
"Supporting Lutron's RadioRA and PCS's UPB technology will give HAI dealers more
flexibility to accommodate virtually any type of lighting control for their
customers."
HAI demonstrated the
technologies at the EH Expo trade show in Long Beach, CA. Expected release date
for support in HAI's Omni LT, Omni II and OmniPro II controllers is January 2004.
