Home Automation Inc. (HAI)
Announces DSC Integration with HAI’s Lumina Home Control
Products
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana, USA, August 1, 2007 /Home Automations,
Inc./ -- Home Automation, Inc. (HAI), a leading manufacturer
of integrated security and home automation products since 1985
has announced the integration between HAI’s Lumina central
lighting and home automation product line and Tyco’s DSC
PowerSeries security panels.
HAI’s newly released 2.15
controller firmware adds support for DSC PowerSeries alarm
systems for the Lumina and Lumina Pro home control systems.
The Lumina and Lumina Pro DSC PowerSeries integration is over
a serial connection. The Lumina and Lumina Pro support all DSC
PowerSeries models and require either the DSC IT-100
integration module or DSC PC5401 serial adapter. The Lumina
supports up to 32 security zones from the DSC security panel
and the Lumina Pro supports up to 64 security zones from the
DSC security panel.
With the integration, the
Lumina or Lumina Pro can trigger events from the DSC security
zones when they are opened or closed such as turning the foyer
light on when the front door is open if it is dark. The Lumina
or Lumina Pro can also trigger events when the DSC security
system goes into Alarm such as turning on all inside and
outside lights when a burglar or fire alarm is tripped.
For energy efficiency the
Lumina or Lumina Pro can change modes when the DSC security
system is armed or disarmed. When leaving the house and arming
the DSC alarm in the AWAY mode, the Lumina or Lumina Pro will
automatically set back thermostats and turn off lights.
Additionally the integration allows the arming or disarming of
the DSC security system over the Internet via HAI’s
award-winning Snap-Link software.
“The Lumina Pro is a great up
sell opportunity for DSC security installers,” explains Thomas
Pickral Jr., HAI Manager of Business Development and Corporate
Training. “It gives DSC customers and installers an affordable
automation and lighting control option that is built on the
proven and reliable DSC family of PowerSeries security panels
and is easy to integrate. DSC dealers have the opportunity to
add lighting control, energy management, audio, touchscreens,
and remote access and control through the telephone or over
the Internet. Options like our Snap-Link software for Internet
access have never been so easy to use and cost effective with
DSC security systems; there is a lot of value for the dealer
and homeowner.”
