After many years I just figured it out . . . When creating UNITS, you can type a friendly name and leave the UNIT Number and that UNIT will appear with its friendly name in "AUTOMATION" on the PC Access desktop app. However, items that still show the UNIT number in Setup, will not be included...

The SnapLink mobile app for iPhone doesn't include all "Control" items programmed on our HAI OMNI 2E. 18 items are displayed; Is there a way to include more items? Same question for "Buttons" not included in the mobile app. Version 1.24 is the last version. I have synced the app with system...

(Asking again to see if anyone new has solved this problem) The most experienced contributor on this forum agreed to remote into my dedicated HAI computer to check out the UPB problems on our home's OMN-IIe network. Using UPB Upstart, he could not detect the presence of any HAI communication...

RE: SMTP2Go with OMNI-LINK sending the messages ? -- I have been using OMNI-LINK to send email messages for any configured event on my OMNI-2E system for 20 years sending to our own Exchange email server but I just abandoned the Exchange after moving all our actual email accounts to Office365...

THIS IS AT AN UNOCCUPIED SEASONAL HOME . . . WE ARE NOT THERE NOW We have about 20 IP Cameras plus access to HAI OMNI2 PHONE APP app and other things that are accessed by Port Forwarding through our router. Had this arrangement for 20 years and yesterday it stopped . . . no inbound traffic gets...

Everything about our second home is integrated with an OMNI-2E system for Lighting, HVAC, Security, and some critical hesting and venting automated with dependencies on inside and outside humidity and temperature inputs while outside temperature ranges from +100 to -30 Fahrenheit . My low-tech...

Most electronic devices aren't needed for 50 years or more, but I have 23 years on an OMNI and don't plan on letting it go anytime soon. I have just added some programming that uses an incremental counter that updates a flag value every 4 minutes. Writing data to the same memory-address in...

We rewired our 100 year old cabin when it was stripped to the studs in a major renovation. Foolishly, I had the 120v wiring done with no manual switches for some lighting circuits, centralized switching at the panel for some lighting circuits and some conventional in-the-room switches in some...

I received a message that "you cant receive additional messages" This is what I said . . but couldn't send. I am Steve. Our HAI system is in Deerwood Minnesota. My only issue is a few HAI switches and the 6 button keypads that quit working. The last time I checked, on one of the switches...

I have 15 HAI switches and three 6 button keypads. All UPB programmed control worked well for a few years and then a few became intermittent or quit accepting commands. I also have about twenty X10 devices and they have always worked from day 1. I believe someone suggested some type of repeater...

  Your answer "implies" that the OMNI IIe configuration file is compatible with OMNI Pro.   So I don't make a mistake of buying something I won't use,  can you confirm compatibility ?  Should I be looking for an OMNI Pro II , rather than just an OMNI Pro ?   Thank You   

Can the program file from an updated OMNI IIe load into an OMNI Pro ?    I have all 500 lines of code used on the OMNI IIe and don't want to start over with a "blank sheet".   Can get used OMNI-Pros on ebay.

Does the Elk M1G replace the HAI panel for Automation programming ?   And is there such a thing a Z-wave keypads that can trigger "programs" on HAI  or Elk ?.

My wife keeps asking who am I going to call when you are gone ?  ( I am 75 and this vacation home will eventually be in the hands of other family members )  There is no-one to call anywhere in Minnesota.   This  part-time second home has almost everything controlled by an HAI Omni-IIe, including...

The three hour interval is to keep it from switching off/on/off every hour if the humidity reading oscillates between 50 and 51 and 50 every hour for while. The reason a built in humidistat doesn't work is because the dry air is being drawn into the crawl space from the "dry" room with a large...
