Hitcents & EyeOn Automation Featured on ABC WHAS
11
Louisville, Ky. – February 15, 2008- WHAS11 News
took an in-depth look at the amazing technology
that is giving Patrick Henry Hughes his
independence.
The technology advances by Hitcents’ and their
contributions to ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition, featuring the Hughes family of
Louisville, Ky, were highlighted by WHAS 11 in
Louisville this week. In preparation for the
airing of the Extreme Makeover episode on
Sunday, WHAS broadcast a week long series of
remarkable stories behind the home construction.
Patrick Henry Hughes, 19, was born without eyes
and without the ability to fully straighten his
arms and legs, making him unable to walk.
Patrick attends the University of Louisville and
plays trumpet in the marching band. His father,
Patrick John Hughes, works nights at UPS so that
he may attend classes and marching band practice
with Patrick Henry during the day. Hughes and
his family were selected in November 2007 to
receive an ABC Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
EyeOn Automation installed one of their home
automation systems for the Hughes family.
Special voice activated electronic equipment was
prepared for the home and the EyeOn crew worked
diligently to install the system during the home
construction.
WHAS anchor Doug Proffitt called Hitcents
founders Clinton and Chris Mills, “the
masterminds behind the technology inside ABC's
Extreme Makeover Home in Louisville.”
The home is equipped with technology that is
able to respond to 350 verbal commands, from
opening doors to changing the channel on the
flat-screen television to telling the time or
outside temperature.
The two-hour Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
special airs Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 7 p.m.
CST on ABC.
