[Hai-users] Baseboard Heating Control

Mon Dec 27 12:29:48 CST 2004

I recommend a device such as the White-Rodgers Silent Relay - Model
24A01 - used with the HAI RC-80 thermostat.  It provides Silent
Operation and Narrow Differential Control for Heating (to control line
voltage loads such as baseboard heaters) or Cooling Installations for
use with a 24-Volt Thermostat.

Subject: [Hai-users] Baseboard Heating Control

Hi all,

I have an OmniPro and a stargate running side by side.  I had a bunch of
stuff in my house, internet controlled cameras, talking liquor cabinet,
turn the yard lights on with my cell phone (homeseer), and omni link on
a web server.  

...then I moved.  Ughh!   Talk about hard... try ripping out 8 years of
fussin' about in 2 days.  I'm still not used to having to actually, get
this, FLIP A SWITCH when I walk into my new garage.  I feel so
proletariat.  :>)

So, I'm faced with some new problems now.  What are you guys doing with
baseboard electric heat control? I seem to remember someone making a
smart tstat for these, but now I can only find a 65$ tstat at smarthome
that basically is just a programmable stat.  I'd really like OmniPro to
know the temp and control it.

I know I could just use a temp sensor and a good quality contactor to
control it, but I want some dedicated controller reliability and backup.
Does HAI make a stat that I can wire into my omnipro like my current
forced air unit?

One more question, I have one of the early releases of omnilink, I had
it running on a an NT server just fine.  Can I run this on a 2003 server
now?  Or can I get an updated version of web link to work with an older
omnipro?

Thanks for any input.
