HACS was founded, by Micro Designs, to demonstrate the viability of: low cost, self-install, modular/expandable approach to home automation for the DIY market. Easily integrated into any system via multiple control interfaces Micro Designs is a design, development, manufacturing consultant for industrial, home automation industry. Consumer electronic since late 80's. See Micro Designs' PUBLIC (NDA projects not included) product timeline at: http://www.microdesigns.biz/past_designs.html Please see my profile on: http://www/linkedin.com/in/ranewman Please join my network there to view my endorsements. Micro Designs last major consulting job was early 2008 when I finished: http://www.atonhome.com DLA2/4/6 based on Hacs' ESS line. Goals of Micro Designs: Developing and promoting simple & inexpensive distributive processing for: Wireless Decora lcd touchscreen Wireless energy monitoring and control outlets/power strips Link modules from/to:IR/X10/RS232/Zigbee/IP/switches/relays/etc. LED signage LED strip/flood/spot lighting Audio/Video/control distribution SMS/touchtone/voice controls Motorized window covering controls Remote controls for security My hope for Hacs, over the years, is that I could find investors and/or partners to fully fund Hacs to be self-sufficient. So many ideas/products in the pipeline. But that has not happened yet. Just since March 2010 Micro Designs has started to get request for bids. First since January 2007. So the economy seems to be getting better. So Hacs is not dead. Micro Designs is still seeking design, development or manufacturing opportunities. Hacs is still looking for investors and/or partners.
