HAI has announced that a new version (1.07) of its Snap-Link Mobile App is now available in the iTunes store. This App includes the ability to remotely control audio/video equipment when used in conjunction with an HAI Home Theater Extender (HTX2).

The HTX2 (HAI part number 86A00-2) allows for AV control using iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (iOS devices) integrated with HAI’s Snap-Link Mobile. Additionally, HAI’s free HTX2 Mobile Designer software allows for the creation and/or customization of GUI (Graphical User Interface) “remote control” pages that are used for controlling AV equipment via an iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. HAI provides generic templates that can be customized for TVs, Blu-Ray/DVD players, AV receivers, satellite/cable boxes, tuners, projectors, CD changers and more. Advanced users can modify the provided templates, design their own templates or purchase templates from third parties. Users can even create macro buttons like “Play Movie” to activate a chain of commands so that all of the applicable audio/video devices are set accordingly with the touch of one button. AV devices can also be separated by room using PC Access so that when the homeowner selects the Living Room, for example, he only gains access to the AV devices within that room.

The iOS device sends the command to the HTX2, which controls the AV equipment using serial ports, IR ports, IP (TCP/UDP) and SPDT relays. Over 300,000 IR codes are built-in, and additional codes may be added using the IR Learner.
