Designing a Home

Automation System

Part 1 of 5:Wiring

September, 2011

What is Home Automation?

An automated home brings together security, fire, lighting, temperature control, audio, home theater, surveillance, access control, pool, spa, drapery control, sprinklers, and anything else that you want so that these systems can talk to each other and work together

An automated home can include some or all of these components

HAI systems focus on lighting, temperature, security, audio, and video

In an automated home these devices work together to make the home more comfortable, more convenient, and safer

What does HAI do?

Do I need to pull wires to have Home Automation?

The answer to this question is increasingly “No” for most categories of home automation technology.

Security, Surveillance, Energy Management, Lighting Control, and Control Interfaces have more wireless options available every year.

If you are building a new home, remodeling, or have access to run wires most professional installers will recommend that you do so for maximum reliability.

Structured Wiring

Structured wiring enclosures provides security, temperature, lighting, audio, video, voice, and data from one central location

Allows for centralized infrastructure of all low voltage wiring in the home

Use any Cat 5 wire in the house to add automation features like touchscreens to any room

Reliable, flexible, expandable and upgradeable

What kind of wire do I need?

The most common types of wire used in home automation are:

Cat5,Cat5e,Cat6 for networking and serial connections

22/2, 22/4 for security and low voltage control

16/2, 14/2 for speakers and low voltage control

RG59 for traditional CCTV cameras

Some other wire types for specialty applications

What devices use Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6?

Devices that use IP networking Omni/Lumina

Controllers OmniTouch 5.7e IP Camera IP Camera Server IP Door Station HTX Hi-Fi 2 Music Gateway

Omni/Lumina

IP devices are all connected to a router or switch just like computers on a network.

This connection allows IP enabled devices like touchscreens and iPhones to control your home automation system

Hi-Fi 2

Run a Cat-5 from the top right hand input on the Hi-Fi 2 Main Board Assembly your router or switch

Once connected you can view metadata from the Music Gateway or HAI Dock as well as control what song you are listening to from the VSC

ZigBee

81A00-2WHZB MicroControl allows remote control over other HAI ZigBee products and can be used as a stand alone device without Omni/Lumina

81A00-3WHZB ZIM is designed to connect to Omni/Lumina with included serial cable and must be placed 6 ft from the controller

PIM

Powerline Interface Module

Plugs into HAI controller serial port

Sends and receives UPB signals over the powerline

Can also be connected to PC for advanced configuration of HLC system – Use UPStart and 36A05-2 PIM to PC Connector and Cable

117A00-1 Omni-Bus Interface Translator

Acts as a gateway between Omni/Lumina and Omni-Bus Lighting

RS-232 Serial interface

Hi-Fi 2 RIM Installation

Run a Cat-5 cable from the back of the RIM to the Hi-Fi 2 Main Board Assembly

The maximum distance for one Cat-5 run from a RIM to the Hi-Fi 2 Main Unit is 500 feet

Hi-Fi 2 VSC Installation

Run a Cat-5 cable from the back of the VSC to the Zone you’d like to control on the Hi-Fi 2 Main Board Assembly

Each VSC must be configured to a specific zone address (1-8) to establish its location.

Phone Cord

Tip: When connecting to a PC via a serial connection it is often necessary to extend the distance of the

phone cord. A phone cord and data cord are NOT the same. Use standard structured wiring jacks and

terminations. Be certain to use only 1 phone cord.
