The Way2Call Hi-Phone Desktop allows you to communicate with your PC using any telephone in your home. Just pick up a phone, press "#", then speak voice commands or use the telephone's keypad to control your lights, appliances or audio/video equipment. Any voice commands that you configure in HomeSeer will be available via the telephone.

All Way2Call modems are bundled with HomeSeer Phone software.  HomeSeer Phone is designed to allow HomeSeer to access and control special functions in the Way2Call modem.

Features:

• Built in voice modem, so no modem is required in your computer.
• Can operate in full duplex mode so you can give voice commands even if the unit is speaking to you.
• Connects via USB for easy installation.
• Press the # key on any in-house phone and you will be connected to HomeSeer.
• Detects when a remote party hangs up the phone. The call is then terminated. This results in smaller voice mail messages.
• Incoming rings may be muted and not sent to your in-house phones until caller ID is detected. This gives the phone software enough time to detect the caller ID information and drop the call or send the call to a voice mailbox before annoying the household with the rings. This setting is software controlled and settable in the HomeSeer Phone options modem tab.
• When caller ID is detected, the ring pattern can be changed, so important calls or calls for a specific person can be assigned a special ring.
• When interacting with the computer on an in-house phone, and an external call arrives, the call is announced to you over the phone. If caller ID information is available, this is announced also. You can then press * (star) 9 to switch to the incoming call.
• From an in-house phone, you can say "dial bill smith" and the phone software interacts with the box to dial the number for you.
• Dialing can also be done by number by saying "dial 911".
• On a power failure, the box connects all in-house phones to the outside and does not interfere with the normal operation of the phone.
• Note that the device can only handle voice, and will not act as a data modem.
