FIDO HOME ENERGY MONITOR SYSTEM
ecoDog, Inc. gives homeowners ultimate control over
their energy use. Consumers often feel that there is
nothing they can do in
the face of rising energy
prices. now, ecoDog's
FIDo Home energy
watchdog provides a cir-
cuit-by-circuit visibility to
electricity consumption
that gives homeowners
unprecedented power
over their energy use
with an added measure of privacy as a bonus.
FIDo makes it easy to make sense of electric bills:
letting users know the cost of running major appli-
ances or how much the kids add to the monthly bill
when they don't turn off their video games! with
simple tips and graphic charts, FIDo turns kilowatt
hours into monthly savings of 15 to 25% or more on
typical electric bills.

Approximately 56% of an average home's
energy cost is spent on heating, ventila-
tion and air conditioning (HVAC) sys-
tems, according to the u.s. Department
of energy. the best way to control your
energy cost is by managing your heating
and cooling system.
· Programmable thermostats allow you
to adjust temperature based on day
and time, security settings, or occu-
pancy even by phone.
· The Alliance To Save Energy says you can
save up to 10% a year if you add a pro-
grammable thermostat to your home!
see page 86 for an array of program-
mable thermostat choices.

· Automated and controlled drapery and
shade systems allows you to control
the temperature inside your home nat-
urally. see page 87 for several window
covering options.

· Without reducing audio quality, today's
amplifiers use drastically less energy
up to half to deliver better sound.
see pages 64-68 for energy-saving
products from nuVo, on-Q and more.
· Eliminate vampire or phantom power
(energy that devices use even when
turned off) with automated switches.
see page 75 for details.
· You can find energy savings on every-
thing from standard tVs, to HD-ready
tVs, to the largest flat-screen tVs
some using as much as 30% less
energy. Look for the energy stAr logo
to guarantee savings.

· Program your irrigation system to work
on a set schedule and save water!
see page 7 for a simple-to-use auto-
mated irrigation systems.
· Coordinate lighting and set by your
schedule, time of day or event.
· Simply replacing switches with dimmers
offers energy payback to homeowners.
Dimming the lights by 25% which is
almost unnoticeable reduces electri-
cal energy consumption by 20%, while
extending bulb life by four times.
· Timer switches save energy in rooms by
adding a new degree of automation
giving you control of how long the lights
stay on.
· Turn lights on and off based on whether
a room is occupied, so you won't waste
energy leaving the lights on in an
empty room.
· Most of today's appliances incorpo-
rate advanced technologies that use
1050% less energy and water than
older models. Look for the energy
stAr logo to guarantee savings.

ZIGBEE BY HAI
Home Controls is very excited to announce the release of
our first ZigBee collection from HAI. ZigBee Pro technology
establishes a standard approach for wireless products
worldwide, eliminating the need for proprietary
technology. Home automation
solutions can take advantage
of a consistent wireless com-
munication technology which
offers unprecedented benefits
in operational reliability, con-
trol, convenience, and security.
these products commu-
nicate through a mesh
network between the
ZigBee Interface module
(ZIm) and controlling ZigBee
devices. the ZIm is also designed to communicate with
ZigBee Pro Home Automation Profile products from
other manufacturers thereby expanding compatibility.
each point-to-point communication is referred to as
a "hop." Adding more devices to the network increases
the efficiency of the network due to increased numbers
of hops available. A maximum of 64 devices can be uti-
lized on a single network and each device can operate a
maximum of five hops.
HAI's ZigBee Pro products are equipped with
high-powered ZigBee radios to ensure enhanced
signal strength and range. these devices possess
a 200' (61m) maximum single line of sight trans-
mission under optimal conditions. Device-to-device
hops expand that range significantly.
while communication for each device is wireless, power
sources are conventional. the ZIm is powered by its direct
connection to the omni or Lumina home automation
controller via the included serial cable. the 5A and 30A
Load Control modules (LCms) are powered by the same
circuit powering the appliance a given LCm controls.
omnistat2 Programmable Communicating thermostats
(PCts) receive power via traditional HVAC wiring.
