HaikuHelper

HaikuHelper adds push notifications for messages, troubles, security & alarms for your iOS device running Haiku for HAI Home Automation Controllers.

HaikuHelper has a built in web server which provides remote access to your home automation system and another break-through feature: support for user-designed interfaces using leading web technologies such as HTML5, AJAX and Flash which can be served up to touch panels, TVs, computers and anything else you can imagine that supports modern web technologies. A fully-documented JSON API is available which provides live updates, full control and more.

HaikuHelper provides climate history graphing within the web interface. All thermostats and auxiliary sensors are graphed together and previous data is available for up to 2 years. You can also view each thermostat separately as well as track HVAC runtimes for cooling, heating, humidification and dehumidification.

HaikuHelper supports full scripting of the automation system using JavaScript. You can control the entire system and receive events and react to them, all using the familiar JavaScript scripting language! This new feature adds unparalleled flexibility to your home automation system and to HaikuHelper. You can do many things not previously possible using the built in programming feature of the HAI controller. Full API documentation is included with HaikuHelper, including sample code for many new things that can be done! Great for both installers and end-users familiar with JavaScript to add rich programming capabilities. We're excited to see what you can do with this! Scripting between controllers is supported too for larger homes or anything else you can think of.

With these features, HaikuHelper is now very likely the most powerful automation package available. Providing you with limitless flexibility meanwhile maintaining ease of use, responsiveness, reliability and quick deployment capabilities for both automation logic and user interfaces.

Besides this, HaikuHelper can also:

- execute advanced automation programming logic
- provide full access to your controller via a web browser from anywhere in the world
- generate advanced graphs for climate temperature and humidity readings
- generate advanced graphs for thermostat (HVAC) runtimes, including humidification and dehumidification
- create custom home automation user interfaces created using HTML5 and other web standards

- control window condensation when used with HAI thermostats and a humidifier/dehumidifier
- update the Energy Cost value on your controller and thermostats based on input from a TED 5000 energy monitoring device
- Log statistics such as climate values, energy use, etc, etc.
- Send e-mail notifications (via scripting)
- interface with other programming or scripting languages such as PHP, etc.
- leverage advanced features such as text-to-speech, voice control, AppleScript, etc.
- interface with serial devices
