The One Main Street 62 Unit Condominium Project is Installing
                  Lagotek Home Intelligence Platform
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(Business Wire)--One Main Street Partners, LLC has chosen the Lagotek Home
Intelligence Platform for its One Main Street project in Bellevue, WA.
This is the first condominium located in Bellevue and Seattle area
that will provide every homeowner with affordable whole home control
functionality and one of the first multi dwelling unit developers in
the country to implement Lagotek as a standard feature in every home.
In addition, this project is the largest scheduled Z-Wave technology
implementation in the United States to date. The construction will be
completed in the Spring of 2009, but the residencies are selling now
and future homeowners can see the Lagotek system in the One Main
Street showroom located at 136 102nd Ave. SE in Bellevue, WA, where
they can decide what elements of home automation they want to have.
Every unit will include a Lagotek touch screen control panel that
controls lights, climate and surveillance cameras. System upgrades at
the sales center include audio video components, security control,
remote access and much more.

   In selecting Lagotek, Zuri Hector of One Main Street Partners LLC
said, "Lagotek offers a high-end solution that is reliable and
affordable. We are happy to partner with Lagotek to build the living
space of the future. Integration of intelligence and entertainment is
the future for homes and we are happy to be the pioneers in offering
this level of service to our customers today. We understand the value
of differentiating our product and the shift in consumer expectations,
along with being able to offer a more eco-friendly living
environment."

   Eugene Luskin, CEO of Lagotek, stated, "Lagotek is all about
providing smarter homes for better living. Seeing the vision of
affordable automation in every home coming true in Lagotek's hometown
is very exciting. Home automation provides convenience, comfort,
energy savings, and a new level of security. These are important
features that are appreciated by today's more discerning home owners.
Visionary residential and multi-dwelling developers like One Main
Street Partners are making this a reality for their fortunate buyers."

   Lagotek's Home Intelligence Platform (HIP) automates lighting,
distributed audio, media center control, video monitoring, zoned
climate control and security system integration, with additional
applications continuously under development. Homeowners manage their
home's systems using a simple, but elegant, interface running on
Lagotek HIP100(TM) touch screen panels, and can also do so through
PCs, Ultra Mobile PCs or Wi-Fi capable PDAs (Personal Digital
Assistants).

   One of the most exciting features is Lagotek's new cell phone
access application. It allows you to see what is going on inside your
home and control the main functions of the home from your mobile
phone.(1) Forget to turn something off? No problem--just do it with a
cell phone. Not sure? Just check it. Is the baby ok? Check the baby
camera from anywhere! Have the kids gone to bed on time while the
parents are enjoying a night out? They can check without even calling
home! This application provides tremendous convenience and peace of
mind.

   Lagotek's Modes and Rules simplify the user's everyday life by
allowing the user to set all the included systems in the home to the
desired settings by pressing just one button. No more running around
the whole house to turn everything off at night. Just touch the "good
night" mode. Set the rule to turn on lights, heat, music, etc. to your
desired settings when you come home, linked to your garage door
opener. The objective is to make the system extremely convenient and
as automated as possible to minimize the need for unnecessary human
interaction.

   Dual Wireless Technology is Key to Bringing Home Automation to
Every Home

   Unlike previous home automation solutions that were server-based
and hard-wired, Lagotek's dual wireless technology provides
functionality through the use of software running on a very secure
wireless hardware platform.

   The Lagotek HIP100 Intelligent Controller is Wi-Fi(TM) and
Z-Wave(TM) compatible. Z-Wave is a low-cost, two-way, mesh network
communications technology that enables everyday devices to be
controlled and monitored wirelessly and securely from anywhere in the
world. Z-Wave is a fully developed, proven, affordable, easy-to-use
and interoperable technology that has been adopted by over 150 leading
companies who manufacture wireless home control and automation
products today.
