Home Automation OmniPro II Manuale Utente

When set to UPB, the OmniPro II controller can: 
 

¾ 

Send commands (on, off, bright, dim and level) to individual switches and modules 

¾ 

Receive commands and status from individual switches and modules 

¾ 

Send commands to keypad controllers to change scenes and control LED backlight behind the keys 

¾ 

Receive commands when buttons are pressed on keypad controllers to activate controller macros 

¾ 

Send Link commands to switches, modules, and keypad controllers to activate scenes 

¾ 

Receive Link commands when a button is pressed on a switch or on a keypad controller to activate controller macros 

¾ 

Send “Status Request” messages to switches to update their status in the controller 

¾ 

Receive the UPB Acknowledgement pulse that indicates that a switch has properly executed a command 

 

 
HAI Lighting Control (HLC) combines HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, and Modules, HAI UPB™ Room Controllers, and 
HAI UPB™ House Controllers to create lighting scenes that set the proper mood and ambiance for various activities.   
 
HLC format is a defined structure for configuring, programming, and operating all the HLC lighting devices in your home.  Each 
“House Code” that is configured to use the HLC format consists of 2 rooms with up to 8 HLC devices in each room.  OmniPro II 
supports up to 31 rooms of HLC lighting.  OmniPro II can control up to 248 HLC devices.   
 
HAI manufactured UPB™ devices (collectively referred to as HLC devices) can be configured using an Omni console or 
OmniTouch touchscreen connected to the OmniPro II controller.  Other UPB™ devices may be used in the HLC structure, but 
cannot be configured using the OmniPro II controller; they must be configured using a PC running the UPB™ UPStart 
configuration software – see Configuring HLC Devices. 
 
 
About Rooms 
 
Each “room” of HLC lighting consists of 8 consecutive unit numbers, starting at Unit 1 (i.e. Room 1 = Units 1-8, Room 2 = Units 
9-16, Room 3 = Units 17-24, etc.).  Each room can consist of a maximum of 8 HLC devices, configured as follows: 
 

¾  Up to 7 HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, and/or Modules (for controlling up to 7 lighting loads in a room or area)  
¾  1 or more Room Controllers (set a scene in a room, turn the room on and off, and dim and brighten the room) 
¾  1 House Controller (for controlling up to 8 rooms of HLC lighting) 
¾  1 or more House Controllers (used as a general purpose 8 button keypad controllers) 

 
The first unit number in each room (i.e. 1, 9, 17, 25, etc.) is reserved for controlling the room.  The name for this unit should 
reflect the room name (e.g. Kitchen, Great Room, Theater, etc.)  HLC Wall Switches, Dimmers, or Modules cannot be 
programmed to these unit numbers.  If one or more Room Controllers are used, the first Room Controller should be set to the first 
unit number in the group (i.e. Unit 1); additional Room Controllers can be used by setting each to any other unused unit number 
in the group (i.e. Units 2-8). 
 
 
About Room Controllers 
 
The HAI UPB™ 6-Button Room Controller allows for lighting control of a room where HAI UPB™ Wall Switches, Dimmers, 
and Modules have been installed. From a Room Controller the room can be turned off (all loads in the group are turned off), 
turned on (all loads in the group are turned on), brightened (all loads are brightened from their current level), dimmed (all loads 
are dimmed from their current level), or set to one of 4 lighting scenes (A-D).   
 
 
Room Controller LED Indicators 
 
When the room is turned on, the LED indicator behind the “On” button is illuminated and all others are turned off.  When the 
room is turned off, the LED indicator behind the “Off” button is illuminated and all others are turned off.  When the room is 
brightened, the LED indicator behind the “On” is illuminated and all others are turned off.  When the room is dimmed, the LED 
indicator that is currently illuminated stays on.  When the room is set to a lighting scene (A-D), the LED indicator behind the 
respective scene letter is illuminated and all others are turned off.
