Commercial Automation

Every business needs a little more control. Automate your lights, temperature, audio/video and energy systems to make your business more effective, more efficient and let’s face it, more cool. Even the smallest commercial Control4 projects deliver a big bottom-line impact. Our solutions easily integrate with your existing business infrastructure and enable communication between devices from virtually any manufacturer.

If addressed in the planning stages, provisions for a strong network, wiring for sound and video as well as construction details can be made to accommodate AV equipment, lighting, shading and comprehensive control systems. Pockets can be framed into the ceiling to conceal projection screens and window coverings. Projector lifts can be motorized and recessed so that they are hidden when not in use.

We are a solutions based company. We have the products, experience and expertise in working with audio, video and automation products for offices, board rooms, hotels and other commercial projects.

THE ROOM Experience

As guests approach their room or suite, the system recognizes if it is their first time in the room and “greets” them as they enter. Light fills the room, the curtains automatically open to reveal spectacular views and the TV displays a list of automated controls for guests to personalize.

One remote controls… everything

The TV can serve as a communications center, displaying messages regarding new voicemails, package deliveries and more. Guests can also control music, lights, thermostat, fireplace, window coverings, do not disturb, and hotel services such as make up room, all from the TV GUI.

One-touch services

Guests can request services from the bellman’s desk, valet, spa, golf club, front desk and more—right from a touch screen or the TV in their room. Hoteliers can choose from a wide range of services to offer your guests, while making back-end functions like mini-bar refills, housekeeping services and security settings more efficient to manage.

Customized scenes

Pre-set “scenes” make it easy for guests to match their mood or preference in one touch. For example, a “good night” button next to the bed can turn off the lights, TV and/or music; shut the curtains; and turn on the privacy notification for the room. Similarly, guests can personalize their wake-up routine—soft music or the morning news as the lights gently illuminate the room and the heat kicks on to the perfect temperature. When they’re ready, drapery opens to welcome the morning sun.

Make it easy for guests to “go green”

Enlist your guests’ help by allowing them to press a “green” button to participate in the hotel’s preferred green settings, automatically managing linen and towel service, temperature and lighting for maximum energy savings.
