A HOUSE STATUS SWITCH IS
A POWERFUL TOOL FOR CREATING
SOPHISTICATED LIGHTING CONTROL

---

A House Status Switch is an optional device in an HLC installation. However, it does require the installation of an HAI Home Control System to your HLC installation. An HAI home control system has the ability to change your light settings by the time of day, a set schedule, by the triggering of events (including motion), via a telephone call, Touchscreen, Smartphone, or by a computer connected to the Internet.

About HLC

All HLC products are UL Listed and use Generation II Universal Powerline Bus (UPB™) – a digital communications standard for lighting and home control that ensures superior reliability. UPB™ has been extensively tested and researched in residential environments and found to be 99.9 percent reliable. UPB™ works over existing wires in a home and does not require new wiring.

House Status Switch Operation

If a button is lit, one or more lights in the room is on. Pressing a lighted button turns off all of the lights in that room. When a non-lighted button is pressed all of the lights in that room are turned on.

LED

Each pushbutton is slightly backlit so that the buttons may be seen in a dark room. Depending on the configuration of the House Status Switch, one or more of the eight pushbuttons will be distinctly illuminated in blue color, indicating that one or more lights are on in the respective room(s). If a pushbutton is not illuminated, all of the lights in the respective rooms are currently off.

You may change the intensity, but not the color, of the LED using the HAI UPB™ UPStart configuration software.

Limits

The limits to the number of House Status Switches that may be controlled by an HAI home control system are as follows:

HAI Home Control System	MAX House Status Switches
Omni LT	2
Omni IIe	8
OmniPro II	31
Lumina	8
Lumina Pro	31

Custom Engraving

The buttons may be custom laser engraved with their room names using HAI Part Number 38A06-2.

Colors

The default color for a House Status Switch is White. House Status Switch Color Change Kits (HAI Part Number 38A05-color codeCS) are available in White (WH), Ivory (IV), Almond (AL), Light Almond (LTA), Brown (BR), Grey (GR), and Black (BL) colors. They are sold in case lots of 12 only.

Wallplate

No Wallplate is included when you purchase this switch. With the exception of the 1500W and 2400W models, HLC switches accommodate standard Decora-style wallplates. Mix and match to easily add a personalized touch to any room.

Configuration Software

When used with an HAI Home Control System HLC products automatically configure themselves, and outside software is not required. HAI offers HAI UPB™ UPStart Configuration software for professionals who desire to make advanced changes to our default setup.

HAI UPB™ UPStart configuration software will allow you to change the intensity, but not the color, of the LED on a House Status Switch.
