HAI has released a maintenance update (Version 3.0.9105) for Home Control for Windows® Media Center. This update adds the following features:
Support for Audio Systems (Russound E-Series and C-Series and NuVo Grand Concerto/Essentia): HAI Home Control now supports communications with Russound E-Series and C-Series and NuVo Grand Concerto/Essentia Whole Home Audio Distribution Systems. The status (i.e. power state, current volume, mute status, and selected source) of each named audio zone is displayed along with various controls for the zone and source. When connected to source equipment that generates metadata (i.e. Song Title, Artist, Genre, Album Name, Channel Number, Channel Name, etc.), the status along with the source metadata is displayed on the Audio Zones Overview page and on the selected Audio Zone page, and the current metadata for each source is displayed on the Audio Source page.
The Audio Zones Overview page displays a list of all named audio zones, along with the power state (On/Off), current volume level (1-100%), mute status, selected audio source, and source metadata (if applicable) for each audio zone. The Audio Zones Overview page also allows turning All Audio Zones On, turning All Audio Zones Off, Muting All Audio Zones, and Un-Muting All Audio Zones. Selecting an audio zone from the list will bring up the Audio Zone page for the selected audio zone.
The Audio Zone interface that is displayed will differ depending on the type of audio system that is configured. The Audio Zone page will display the power state of the zone, current volume (displayed in a percentage and bar graph), mute status, current audio source, and source metadata (if applicable). Besides any available transport control buttons for the configured audio system, every audio zone will have the following zone control buttons to control the audio zone: Volume Up button, Volume Down button, Mute button, Power button, and Audio Source button. Selecting the Audio Source button will bring up the Audio Source page.
The Audio Source page displays all of the available audio sources along with the current metadata (if applicable) for each source. Selecting an audio source from the list will bring up the Audio Zone page with the newly selected audio source in the respective audio zone.
Support for accessing the Shared Viewport from any page within HAI Home Control: While watching TV, DVD, or recorded video from within Media Center, you can open HAI Home Control and still have the video playing in the Shared Viewport while adjusting the thermostat, setting or checking on security, setting lighting, or any other function in HAI Home Control. You can now access the Shared Viewport from any page from within HAI Home control to Pause, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, or resume playback at its normal screen size.
Support for HAI controller firmware 3.0.
Added support for setting of thermostat system mode to "Emergency Heat".
Add better Celsius support to display/set Celsius temperature values in half-degree increments across all browsers.
Add support for displaying new Thermostat Fan and Hold modes.
Numerous performance, operational, error reporting, and security improvements throughout.
