A KNX-based, sensor-driven hotel automation solution was implemented across 250 rooms at Unique Life Style Hotel. Door-contact or electronic-lock data was evaluated together with presence sensing to verify actual occupancy, while Fidelio/Opera PMS integration linked check-in, comfort, vacant-room and check-out scenarios to hotel operations.
The automation concept for Unique Life Style Hotel brings 250 rooms, lighting, climate control, security, central monitoring and Fidelio/Opera PMS data together on a shared KNX backbone. When a guest checks in, PMS data prepares the assigned room for welcome and comfort. Entry information from the door contact or electronic lock starts the arrival logic; after the door closes, presence sensors scan the room and verify actual occupancy.
Comfort conditions are maintained while the guest is present. If no presence is detected for the configured period after a door event, the system confirms that the room is vacant: lighting and managed loads are switched off and climate control moves to an economy setpoint. Check-out returns the room to vacant/standby status, with conditions and alarms available to central operations.
Implemented Systems
- Sensor-verified occupancy combined with door/lock data
- Fidelio/Opera PMS check-in and check-out integration
- Lighting and room scenarios
- Climate control and economy setpoints
- Vacant-room and energy-saving scenarios
- Security system integration
- Central status, alarm and operations monitoring
Project Approach
Occupancy is verified by sensing instead of inferred from a card holder or a single door event. This protects comfort, reduces vacant-room consumption and gives technical teams a more accurate view through shared PMS and central-management data.
