Living in a house that's not automated is like watching TV without a remote control - you just don't realize that yet!  We're here to help educate you and your house.  HAL software is easy to use and it's scalable - you can do as much or as little as your time and your budget allow.

And once you bring HAL into your home, HAL will be right here on the Web to help you every step of the way.  Our Do-It-Yourself Projects give you lots of ways to raise your home's IQ.  We'll walk you through projects with detailed step-by-step installation instructions and illustrations to help you get the job done.  Send us a description of your HAL project and we’ll share it with the HAL community right here on the Do-It-Yourself page!

Click on Home Control Fundamentals to tap into a growing resource of home control information - from an explanation on how X-10 actually sends signals over the powerline to how to wire a 3-way light switch.

How Do I... do it with HAL?  That's the question this section answers with shortcuts to information on everything from how to schedule a light with HAL to how to tell HAL to set the sprinkler system to water on only the odd days of the month!  Instructions that stimulate ideas.
