The little things

Joel Moss was shocked by his first electric bill of the summer--it was just $65! Compared to his neighbors, whose bills were running closer to $100 a month, his was not only surprising but downright amazing. Energy savings is one of the reasons Joel decided to put an automation system into his newly constructed split-log house. However, it didn't take long for him to realize that his HAI OmniPro II system could provide other benefits as well. "This house is so convenient," he enthuses. "I can push one button to create a lighting scene or to shut off everything while I'm dozing off in bed." Joel can get the house ready for bed, a dinner party, a vacation, and other occasions from several areas in the home. See this slide show
