HAI, the industry leader in custom installed Home Automation systems, offers a family of Home Area Network (HAN) products
designed for use in smart grid projects for the Utility industry.
HAI has been working on energy management since its inception in 1985. The very first HAI controller, the Model 1503,
was introduced in 1988 and could reduce consumption of
electricity by turning off lighting, appliances, heating, and air-conditioning in response to a signal from
the utility company.
By 1995 HAI had
introduced Programmable Communicating Thermostats (PCTs) with its Models RC-81 and RC-101,
and showed energy consumption on HAI Omni controller consoles.
HAI has built upon its past experience to create a very flexible product line to meet the needs of any utility customer.
Our full suite of products will cover
any type of HAN application and include
PCTs, an In Home Display (IHD),
and Load Control Modules (LCMs).
HAI HAN products may be totally customized to meet the needs of each utility customer.
Utilities can specify the exact information that appears on a PCT or IHD, including customized
pages and colors, and have the ability to
display custom messages during a special event.
The HAI HAN products allow utility customers to implement time of use rating structures,
manage demand response by shedding load during peak demand events, and send common custom
informational messages to the customer.
HAI HAN products are designed to use the ZigBee® Smart Energy, Sensus FlexNet®, or many other
standard and proprietary RF network technologies for communication. HAI HAN products can control any
type of electrical device inside of the home for demand response and can be expanded into far reaching
home automation systems.
