HAI’s Snap-Link Mobile Enables Home Control Via Smartphone

From the comfort of an airport lounge, you can look in on burglars, set lighting scenes, and mess with the kids’ music.

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 31, 2007 /Home Automation Inc./ -- Got a smartphone and an HAI home automation system? Now you can control your home and view your surveillance cameras remotely via cell using HAI’s new Snap-Link Mobile.

From the comfort of an airport lounge, you can look in on burglars, set lighting scenes, and mess with the kids’ music.

True, other systems have enabled smartphone-based home control, but they’re not HAI, manufacturer of arguably the most ubiquitous home automation systems in America.

HAI’s Snap-Link first appeared in 2006 as a USB stick that allows remote operations via almost any computer with a USB port.

Snap-Link Mobile is designed for handheld mobile devices, such as PDAs, smartphones, or other devices running Windows Mobile operating software. Users simply click on the HAI logo that appears on the handheld device to get access to their secure Snap-Link home control page.

HAI claims that there is “no set” up for Snap-Link. It downloads directly into the mobile device for encrypted communications over Wi-Fi or cellular data networks.

Snap-Link Mobile is expected to ship in Q1 of 2008. It is compatible with HAI’s OmniPro II, OmniIIe, LuminaPro, and Lumina home control systems. It will be sold without subscription fees and users will receive updates for free.

HAI is demonstrating Snap-Link Mobile in Booth 26421, South Hall at CES.
