HAI Snap-Link Wins 2007 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award
HAI, the leading manufacturer of integrated automation and security products since 1985, announces that the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has awarded HAI’s Snap-Link with a 2007 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award in the Integrated Home Systems category. An independent panel of preeminent industrial designers, engineers and members of the press selected the winners. Additionally the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) endorsed and acted as advisors to the Innovations awards. The judges determine the winning products based on user value, unique and novel features, contribution to the quality of life, and the aesthetic and design qualities of the product.
Snap-Link is a USB key that plugs into any computer and directly communicates through the secure Ethernet port on an HAI home control system. It gives homeowners the ability to check and adjust lights, security, temperatures, webcams, and more. It is very secure, easy to use, with no installation or on site computer required. Moreover, there are no monthly fees associated with this software. Snap-Link is currently shipping and has a suggested retail price of $99.
Previously Snap-Link was designated as a Finalist for Electrical Contracting Products’ 2006 INNOVATION Awards and recently was awarded a CHIP (CePro High Impact Product) by the readers of CePro magazine. The CHIP awards are based on the recommendations of professional integrators who have sold, installed, and profited from the winning products.
