Omnistat2 Thermostat Video User Guide

This video is a user guide on the general operation of HAI’s award winning thermostat, the Omnistat2. This product recently won "Best Green Product" at the tenth annual Electronic House Expo this past March! This expo commemorates the finest achievements in home electronics products, services, and installed technology and is attended by the majority of home automation manufacturers.

One cool new feature that HAI added to this new model thermostat is you can set the backlight display color from a set of 100 colors. The Omnistat2 can also display a graph of your heating and air conditioning usage over the past 4 weeks. This graph can help give insight on what HVAC settings work best for your house and ultimately can help save on energy bills.

The Omnistat2 has replaced all of HAI’s older model thermostats. They have simplified their climate control product line by offering only two thermostats. In situations where you’re using either a multi-stage system or you’re controlling a humidifier that’s integrated into your HVAC system, you will require the Omnistat2 RC-2000. In all other cases, the RC-1000 will suffice. HAI is also developing a wireless version of the Omnistat2 which is expected to be released later this year.

Grand Concerto Keypad Video User Guide

This video user guide demonstrates how to operate the audio keypad for a Nuvo Grand Concerto multi-room audio system. The demonstration covers the different parts on the GC display and the primary features of the “Main Menu.”

Some cool features that are worth mentioning are Party-Mode (allows you to play the same music throughout all your audio zones) and Sleep-Mode (allows you to set your audio zone to gradually ramp down in volume and turn off in a specified amount of time).

The Nuvo Grand Concerto continues to be our best seller in the multi-room audio world due to its high quality and power and comparatively low cost.

Touch Screen Video User Guide

This video user guide highlights the various features that our Omnitouch touch screen has to offer. My demonstration covers how to control the many different subsystems integrated in your HAI home automation system (lighting, security, climate control, multi-room audio, irrigation, preprogrammed macro buttons, surveillance video, and other integrated products).

One cool feature that I discovered when preparing this video was the “Clean Screen” feature which essentially freezes the screen temporarily so that you can clean it without accidentally pressing any buttons.

The Video feature was one category that I was not able to cover in detail since we do not have cameras and video hub hooked up to our automation system. You can get a better idea of what the Video feature looks like by visiting our online touch screen demo on our website at:

Also use this online demo to test your new knowledge and get a better feel for HAI’s award-winning Omnitouch touch screen!

These video user guides are designed to educate our clients on the main features of our systems and allow them to quickly and effectively operate their new home automation system. Our videos are catered to anyone planning on using the equipment, not just the head of the household.

I’ll be updating our blog as we upload these video user guides so keep an eye out for them!

Video User Guide - Arming/Disarming your System

This is the first in many video user guides that we will be releasing within the next month or so. This specific video will run over how to arm and disarm your security system from your LCD keypad. There are other keypad functions such as adjusting lights, climate control and running preprogrammed macro buttons but since those features are typically controlled from a touch screen or a computer, I limited my demonstration to security.
