Project Site

Description

EVG's goal was to upgrade Open University’s traditional hotel mockup room to a smart hotel room with comprehensive automation.

Demonstrate the latest room control technologies with full app integration; all devices and systems are centralized in a single platform and can be controlled individually or combined into different scene settings
Adopt existing fit-out without replacing lighting fixtures, A/C system, TV system, glass wall and windows

Scope of Work

Replaced original light switch with Z-Wave wireless switches
Replaced thermostat with a WiFi controllable one
Adhered switchable film on existing glass wall to control the opacity
Replaced manual blinds with electrical ones that are controlled with Z-Wave wireless curtain controller
Integrated smart light bulbs to build up mood lighting
Integrated with smart TV to play different contents from the internet
Comprehensive control of all devices and systems with the Control Free App
Integrated Google Home system by using "Control Free Direct" (Works with Google service)
Controllers utilizes the hotel's existing wifi; no installation of new cables is required
No server is required on-site, a tiny smart hub is used to connect all devices and systems
User can control the smart hotel room through iPad App, Voice control or a wireless switch for different scenes
All devices inside the room are controllable by natural voice commands
Control of all devices and systems is combined into a single platform
The system can be easily scaled up with the integration of new devices and controllers
Different sensors can also be added to further customize automation modes and scene settings based on evolving user preferences
