PC Access Version 3.15.0.799 (15/October/2015)
- Added OmniTouch 7 Kernel Version 1.1 and OmniTouch 7 Firmware Version 1.12 to the update site. See Technical Bulletin TB-18 for instructions on installing these updates.
This upgrade improves connection reliability, video connections and eliminates a soft sound that can be heard when you hold your ear up to the speaker. Furthermore, this upgrade will eliminate the possibility of the touchscreen producing a static noise from the speaker that can be heard from a distance. Note that although the static noise is annoying if it happens, it does not pose safety or functionality issues.
Note: These updates must be applied together in order.
The OmniTouch firmware upgrade file (e.g. OmniTouch_7_Version_1.12_99A00-1_2.ot7f) must be applied first.
Wait for the touchscreen to reboot, then the Kernel upgrade file (OmniTouch_7_Kernel_Ver_1_1_99A00-1_2.ot7f) must be applied.
After the OmniTouch 7 restarts, press the Settings icon on the bottom-right of the OmniTouch 7 menu bar.
Press and hold the Settings icon for 3 seconds.
The firmware version is displayed in the title bar. Verify that the Kernel Version is 1.1 or higher.

Put the device in setup mode then go to the unit status page and right click on the HLC or UPB device. Then click on the "Configure HLC Device..." option. NOTE: This option requires firmware version 3.0 or higher and only works on HAI branded HLC or UPB devices.
- Updated US Zip Code database. NOTE: This is just an update to the data with a few new and changed Zip Codes.
- Fixed problem with Triggers of User Settings type Time where the User Setting number was greater than 16, the setting would be misinterpreted as an actual time rather than a User Setting.
- Fixed a UDP connect/retry issue. Some of the previously implemented network performance optimizations caused problems if a retry occurred during a UDP connect attempt.
- Fixed incorrect Humidity conversion and display when system temperature format was set to Celsius. This did not affect functionality, but the displayed Humidity value was incorrect.
- Fixed a firmware update issue. If the firmware file was zero bytes long, it would generate an exception in the firmware file validation routine. If you chose to continue it would allow you to sent the zero length file to the controller. This has been corrected. If the firmware file is invalid or there are any exceptions PC Access will not allow the firmware update to continue.
- Rewrote printing routines to correct issues with printing in foreign languages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Added feature to check for power mode changes and automatically disconnect if the PC goes to sleep.
- Fixed keyboard copy/paste exception that occurred when pasting data between account files. In some cases using the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste would cause a run time exception after switching to another account file. This did not affect using the "Edit" menu copy and paste functions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.1.0.504 (04/August/2009)
- Added support for HAI Latin American Spanish language controllers.
- Fixed problem where Lumina controllers reported incorrect information in the system log. Battery Low was reported as Fire Emergency, AC Power Off was reported as Police Emergency, etc.
- Removed leading zeros from Automation > Condition > Date/Time for Day, Hour and Minute, greater than, less than and equal to display. For example it used to display "HOUR IS EQUAL TO 01", but now it displays as "HOUR IS EQUAL TO 1".
- Fixed rounding problem when entering a User Setting Temperature from the status page and the system Temperature Format was set to Celsius. The error would round Celsius temperatures like 24.5 down to 24. This has been corrected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.1.0.499 (09/July/2009)
- Added the ability to copy Automation Blocks to the Windows clipboard so they can be pasted into other applications.
- Added names/descriptions for Access Control Readers listed on the Setup > Codes > Valid Readers pop up selector.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.1.0.492 (24/June/2009)
- Began implementing changes to support multilingual controllers. NOTE: At this time PC Access only supports HAI branded English language controllers.
- Corrected problem where some enumerated type names were being obfuscated in the automation selectors. For example on the Automation tab when selecting "Trigger > Zone" the available list of Zone conditions should have been "Secure" and "Not Ready", but instead appeared as two string of random characters. NOTE: This was only a display problem in the selector and did not affect the function of any programming. Also after making a selection the program line would appear correctly in the automation line.
- Corrected problem where only generic area names (e.g. "AREA 1") were displayed in the event log for arm/disarm events.
- Corrected a problem where the descriptions of Flags would not appear in automation programming if the Flag name was being used by an Audio Source or Audio Zone.
- Corrected problem where the Humidity related statuses were not displayed unless the connection type was TCP. Humidity status will now display for any connection type as long as the controller firmware is 3.0 or higher.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.1.0.490 (19/June/2009)
- New firmware version 3.1a released. Check for updates to download the latest firmware files.
- Corrected a problem that caused a run time error when deleting an Access Control card serial number from a user code. Now deleting a code sets it to all 0's without error.
- Added new feature to Configuration Read/Write dialogs. Occasionally you may want to only select one check box in the list, for example, you only want to read the event log. In this example you would have to uncheck all of the other boxes by left clicking on them one at a time. The new feature is a check box right click that selects the current check box and unchecks all of the others in the list. So now all you have to do is right click on the events check box.
- Added check box right click feature to print dialog. (see above)
- Added Custom Dictionary option under Options > General. When enabled PC Access 3 will use text from the custom dictionary instead of the default text for some items.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.1.0.477 (08/May/2009)
- Added support for 3.1 firmware. This includes support for Lutron HomeWorks and a few minor bug fixes.
- Added feature "HAI Trigger" which generates an event when a predefined string is received via a ProLink serial port. This allows you to have 127 additional triggers without having to use any of the user message. See the help file for additional details.
- Added code to resolve an intermittent error that occurs when closing PC Access while connected to a controller and viewing a status page. The problem is a timing issue where PC Access is trying to disconnect and shutdown but a background thread is still trying to update the status page.
- Added feature to Communications > Send Command to remember the last command sent.
- Added code to always copy the PCA01.CFG file to the data directory. Previously PC Access 3 would search for previous version of the file that were created by PC Access 2.x and used the older version. If the configuration was modified by PC Access 3 then it was written to the new location. For compatibility with new HAI applications such as Automation Studio, the configuration file is always copied to the new standard location.
- Modified the temperature conversion/display routines to be more compatible with languages/cultures that use characters other then "." as the decimal separator.
- Corrected a problem where the valid commands for Z-Wave loads were incorrect. This caused Ramp to appear as a valid command instead of Status.
- Corrected a problem in Automation > Action > Temperature where the command set was not calculated properly for the last thermostat. This is thermostat #4 for Omni IIe and Lumina controllers and thermostat #64 for OmniPro II and Lumina Pro controllers.
- Corrected a problem that caused an exception when writing program files to the controller. This only occurred if program lines had been pasted from another account file. As a temporary work around, saving, closing and reopening the file will correct the problem. This release has a permanent fix so the work around is no longer necessary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.0.0.469 (23/April/2009)
- Added additional error checking to handle invalid temperature values on temperature status pages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.0.0.468 (22/April/2009)
- Added additional error checking to handle invalid data in account files which caused a run time exception when rendering the Automation tab. The specific problem was in the automation command "PHONE NUMBER x AND SAY MESSAGE y" where y was an invalid message number. Now the, instead of causing an error, the text "
" is displayed in place of the invalid message number.
- Corrected problems in Setup > Messages > Voices for older generation one controllers (1.x) where the number of voices was not equal to the number of names.
- Corrected problems in Setup > Messages > Areas for older generation one controllers (1.x). This was related to the above mentioned Message Voice problem.
- Changed File > Export so that it defaults to the current file name with an ".exp" extension. Previously it was blank, or the value of the last File > Save As file name.
- Changed terminology under Automation > Edit Actions and Conditions. In previous versions of PC Access the term "Control" was used when defining triggers, conditions and actions. In PC Access 3 the term "Unit" was used for triggers and conditions, but actions still used the term "Control". For consistency, and due to popular demand, the term "Control (Unit/Output/Flag)" is now used for triggers, conditions and actions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.0.0.467 (20/April/2009)
- Added feature to Automation > Conditions > Temperature. You can now create conditions that compare the Fan Mode of one Thermostat to the Fan Mode of another Thermostat.
- Corrected a problem with the OEM account file conversion routine for an Aegis 3000. The problem caused the file to be incorrectly converted to an Omni II, instead of an OmniPro II. This caused multiple problems with the file including loss of all programming lines.
- Corrected a problem where remarks were lost when pasting from one account file to another. This required a change to the way remarks are stored internally. Existing account files will be automatically upgraded the first time they are reopened and you may be asked to save changes. This is a one time upgrade.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.0.0.466 (14/April/2009)
- Added code to resolve intermittent errors which occurred when the account file was closed while there was an open connection to the controller. This should also address similar intermittent errors that occur in the retry and reconnect routines.
- Corrected run time exception when attempting to define a Temperature condition. This error occurred when no temperature devices were defined, or the temperature device filer resulted in an empty list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.0.0.465 (13/April/2009)
- Added additional help text for Setup > Account Information > Version Override.
- Added additional help text for Setup > Expansion > Serial.

- Added the ability to Flash firmware on flash equipped OEM controllers to convert them to HAI controllers. NOTE: This feature is currently available for flash equipped Aegis and OnQ controllers.
- Corrected resource string problems, mostly typos, capitalization and word wrap issues.
- Corrected default Output Types for Omni LT.
- Corrected problem where Output Types could not be edited on an Omni LT.
- Corrected problem where TCP "Controller Session Terminated" messages were being incorrectly reported as "No Reply". This only occurred if the controller key was incorrect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Access Version 3.0.0.464 (01/April/2009)
- Resolved the "Check for updates" problem when running on a MAC under Parallels. Mac/Parallels users can now get program updates and updated firmware files. The only catch is that MAC/Parallels users must use their original download link to upgrade to version 3.0.0.464 before "Check for updates" will work. Many thanks to Brian Biggs for his help in resolving this tricky problem.
- Corrected problem where current connection was not closed when creating a new account file.
- Revised context help text on dealer version to include additional information from the Installation Manual.
- Increased the width of the status display column for Units, Outputs and Flags to allow more space for extended statuses such as "Level 50% for 00:02:12".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
