It does a great job of giving you remote access, control, and status of
anything hooked up to your Omni system.  If you have a windows based OS,
like Xp, Pocket PC, or Smartphone, you can view and control your home.

Well discussing with some other insiders, it really came down to it is a
good idea and at some point it would be nice, but Touchscreens,
Lightswitches, and targeting other markets is more important to spend money
on company resources.  BTW, HAI is working on getting out nicer software,
but how long it takes we shall see...

> Sounds interesting.  Keep us filled in.

I will be sending out a press release in the next couple of days.  Unlike
HAI I am trying to keep the cost affordable.  It is planned to be under $30.
The initial release will support Ethernet based devices. Next quarter we
plan to support the serial connection for the Omni Pro, Omni, Omni II, and
the Omni LT.

I am working on integrating it as a web based training.  But that will take
some time, and maybe by mid month you can view the training online.  In the
future products like PC Access it will be more fractional than one big
training.  I like the way other companies have broken it down so each
training is a short  concise step like, setting up names and voices, or
adding phone numbers.  So you don't have to sit thru a long presentation to
get the 30 seconds of instruction you are looking for at that moment.
