70% of a hotel’s energy waste comes from lighting and HVAC left on in unoccupied rooms. That’s not a guest problem — that’s an automation opportunity.

While hospitality leaders are under pressure from rising energy bills, staff shortages, and sustainability goals, technology offers a solution that doesn’t disrupt the guest experience. Instead, it enhances it.

Room Automation That’s Smarter Than a Key Card

Traditionally, hotels relied on a key card switch: the guest inserts a card to activate lights and air conditioning, and removes it to turn everything off. Simple and effective, but it doesn’t always reflect real occupancy.

With Lumos Controls, this logic is upgraded.

By combining the key card switch with door sensors (like Catron AI) and motion sensors (Cyrus F), the system can accurately determine whether the room is truly occupied not just powered. The Radiar AR10 Room Controller intelligently interprets signals and controls lighting and HVAC accordingly, even if someone forgets to remove the card. The result: energy is only used when needed.

This layered logic eliminates false triggers, improves guest privacy, and leads to up to 30% energy savings per room automatically.

Smart Housekeeping and Staff Optimization

Manual cleaning logs are inefficient and outdated. With BLE-based staff badges and room controllers, Lumos enables real-time housekeeping visibility.

Hotel managers can now:

• See which rooms are cleaned and ready
• Track how long cleaning takes
• Analyze staff movement via listeners and tags
• Identify gaps or overlaps in cleaning routines

This data flows into a centralized Analytics Dashboard, where managers access reports like:

• Cleaning Staff Performance
• Room Occupancy Overview
• Staff Location Heatmap

It’s not just data — it’s action-ready intelligence.

Automated Emergency Lighting — A Must-Have, Not a Maybe

Emergency lighting isn’t optional — it’s a code compliance requirement. Lumos Controls’ automated emergency lighting testing system (LASER) takes care of this with:

• Scheduled monthly and annual test routines
• Instant fault detection and reporting
• NFPA 101 compliance
• Digital test logs accessible from anywhere

With a system like LASER, hotel staff don’t need to manually inspect fittings or keep paper logs — it’s all done, automatically.

A Complete Smart Hotel Strategy

From the lobby to the washroom, smart controls now cover more than just comfort. They’re enabling:

• Energy savings at scale
• Efficient staff operations
• Code compliance without effort
• And a better guest experience, always

Lumos Controls helps you create intelligent hotel spaces — without compromise.
