Customize your HAI Touch Screen Interface

We have been using the HAI Omnitouch 10p for almost a year now. It is a great device that allows clients to easily control their home automation systems. Prior to the 10p and 5.7e touch screens, we used the OmniTouch 5.7 and before that the OmniTouch 3.9. These were great screens, but did not allow for any customization. The standard HAI interface is very nice and extremely functional. However, it’s not ideal for all homes. The now 10p and 5.7e, along with HAI’s automation studio give us the tools to unlock the screens and create some amazing touch screen designs…

The software tool, called HAI Automation Studio, can be used to customize the interface of Omnitouch 10p and Omnitouch 5.7e touchscreen devices. Using this tool, you can create the new interface for the touchscreen and then upload the new interface to the device. You can now choose your colors, themes, buttons, and options. Going further, we can map your floor plans onto your touch screen. The map would act as a menu to control the rooms in your house. These customizations make the system more personal and user friendly.

So, how would you like your touchscreen interface to look?

HAI Custom Graphics & New Home Theater Extender

HAI has recently released a new software, HAI Automation Studio, that will allow Mile High Automation to design and create custom graphics on the OmniTouch Portable touchscreens. Custom graphics are a very popular request from clients and we are excited to be able to offer these custom designs on the protable touchscreens.


In addition, HAI will be offering full home theater and surround sound control from the HAI Home Theater Extender (HTE) when coupled with the OmniTouch Portable touchscreens. The upgrade will offer serial (RS-232) control and an IR database that includes over 300,000 IR codes plus the ability to “learn-in” any additional codes not already included. The HTE also includes inputs that can be used with current and/or voltage sensors to help determine whether the equipment is currently in the “on” or “off” state, thus eliminating any issues that could be caused by legacy equipment that does not offer discreet power controls.


These two new offerings from HAI, coupled with the OmniTouch Portable touchscreens, will allow homeowners to press one button to turn on the TV, AV Receiver, DVD player, play the DVD, dim the lights, and set the entire house to desired levels for a totally automated entertainment experience and do so on completely custom designed graphics.
