Hotels
Hotel room automation
Occupancy-based climate control, smart locks and energy monitoring for hotels under 200 rooms — chain-grade automation you can justify on a 30-room property.
For hotels, motels & caravan parks
Hotel, motel & cabin automation that just works. Wired into the PMS you already use.
4Control is a managed room automation system for hotels, motels and caravan parks. We connect air-conditioning control, smart locks, lighting, energy monitoring and gate access directly to your property management system — so every room runs itself, HVAC energy costs drop, and your guests barely notice the technology working.
Up to 50%
HVAC energy reduction is achievable — transparently, without changing what guests do
$4–$8
Daily energy a typical unoccupied room can quietly waste — multiplied across every empty room, every day

Utilities are a hotel's second-highest operating cost after labour
The guest moment
The room is ready before they are.
A guest pulls up to your property. The ANPR camera at the boom gate reads their plate, matches it to their booking, and lifts the arm. That same moment kicks off the arrival scene for their cabin: the path light comes on, the air-con — which has been idling all afternoon to save energy — steps into comfort mode, and the entry light warms up to greet them at the door. The room feels expected. That's the difference between a property guests remember fondly and one they merely tolerated.
The same intelligence runs the rest of the property. PIN, RFID and QR access at pool gates, amenity blocks and activity rooms — so guests use what they're already carrying and staff aren't handing out keys. Behind all of it, HVAC runtime is trimmed, abnormal loads are watched, and nothing runs unsupervised while no-one's around. Guests never see the savings happening. They just feel the comfort.
Outcomes
Hotel energy savings: what changes once it's actually running.
These are the kinds of numbers operators see once a managed automation layer is doing its job — quietly, in the background, while guests are simply enjoying their stay. Your specifics will depend on your property, your climate and your starting point.
Up to 50%
heating & cooling energy reduced
By trimming runtime in vacant rooms and stopping HVAC fighting open doors
~30%
total per-room energy reduction
When occupancy-aware HVAC, lighting and standby control work together
Higher
guest comfort scores
Climate & lighting respond to actual presence — never a cold or dark welcome
Fewer
equipment-related complaints
Anomaly alerts catch HVAC drift and abnormal loads before guests notice
Visible
guest EV charging caught early
Circuit-level monitoring surfaces unexpected loads within minutes, not billing cycles
Rapid
deployment, no construction
Wall panels replace existing AC remotes; phased rollout starts with a single wing
Industry-accepted ranges for hospitality smart-room deployments. Your numbers will depend on tariff, climate, baseline behaviour and which integrations you choose — these are figures that make the conversation worth starting.
Find your fit
Built for your kind of property.
The right setup depends on whether you're running guest-room floors, a roadside motel, or cabins scattered across a park. Start with the page that matches your property — or see exactly where the HVAC energy savings come from.
Motels
Motel energy management
Smart room control that runs itself between guests, cutting HVAC waste in empty rooms with zero extra steps for your front desk.
Parks
Caravan park & cabin automation
Per-cabin energy and access control across detached units, with automatic path lighting and after-hours self check-in.
Access
Gate & access control
Whole-property access: boom gate ANPR at the entrance, PIN, RFID and QR at pool gates, amenity blocks and pedestrian entries. PMS-driven, offline-capable, priced for accommodation operators.
