This is the HAL Basic Automation System that has a voice interface that makes it easy to use. HAL software taps the power of your existing PC or PC device to control your home . It sends commands all over your house using the existing electrical wires inside your home's walls. It is easy to install since there is no requirement for new wiring. Once HAL is installed on your PC, the user may pick up any phone in the home, press the # key, and then give voice commands to tell HAL to dim the dining room lights or close the garage door. It's a two-way conversation, with HAL confirming that it has, indeed, performed the requested action.
