Smart IoT · Room control

The room welcomes
the guest by itself

Check in and the climate starts, the welcome lights come up. Check out and it all powers down. Housekeeping arrives and the room switches modes. One booking moves the room and the shared areas together.

Smart IoT is hardware that links door locks, lighting and climate to your operating system — from check-in to post-checkout room reset, with no staff step.

Smart scenarios

Check-in, checkout, housekeeping — hands off

The room changes state on its own, following the stay.

  1. 1

    Check-in

    Comfortable the moment they check in

    The moment a guest checks in, climate control starts and the room is brought to temperature.

  2. 2

    Entry

    A welcome, staged

    On first entry the welcome lights come up and the curtains open — that is the first impression.

  3. 3

    During the stay

    App, tablet or voice

    Guests set lighting, temperature and curtains however they prefer.

  4. 4

    Checkout

    One button on the way out

    Lights, power, climate, boiler and breaker all go down at once — no power left running.

  5. 5

    After checkout

    It shuts off even if nobody presses it

    Miss the button and the room still powers down once checkout time has passed.

  6. 6

    Housekeeping

    Switches itself to cleaning mode

    Enter with the housekeeping code and lights come on, blinds open and climate stays off.

  7. 7

    Long stays

    Safety checks on long stays

    Long-stay rooms are watched by fire detection and usage history — if nothing changes for a while, staff step in to check.

Unattended operation · Smart lock

A door code that changes itself, on a smart lock

No front desk needed — guests arrive and walk straight in. One unbroken, unattended flow on VACATIO alone.

How it is put together

One booking moves the whole room

What it changes

Once it is connected, this is what shifts

01

A stay guests notice

Contactless check-in and a smart room raise satisfaction.

02

Less running around

Routine work automates and control goes remote, easing the staffing load.

Granular permissions, access logs and long-stay safety checks make operations steadier.

FAQ

FAQ

Yes, including properties already in operation. We check your doors and wiring first, then scope the work to only what is needed.

It depends on room count and which devices you connect. After a site check we lay out the equipment and scope in a quote.

Locks open on the device itself with the issued code, so guests still get in. Logs sync once the connection is back.

Every door opening is logged with who and when, and permissions are split across operations, facilities and housekeeping.
