For independent & family-run motels

Motel energy management that runs itself — room by room.

Every empty motel room with the air-conditioner still running is money leaking out overnight. 4Control connects smart room control to your property management system, so HVAC, lighting and smart locks respond automatically to check-in and check-out — cutting HVAC energy use up to 50% without adding a single task for your front desk.

Where motels lose money

Motel HVAC waste hides in the gaps between guests.

Motels turn rooms over constantly, and each turnover is a window for waste: air-conditioning left running, lights on, doors propped open during cleaning. With no occupancy sensing, that waste repeats every day across every room. Smart room control for motels removes it without relying on anyone to remember.

Hours

Air-conditioning running in rooms between guests

Rooms sit empty for hours between check-out and the next arrival. Occupancy-based control drops them to setback automatically and pre-conditions to comfort just before the next guest is due.

24/7

Compressors fighting an open door or window

Reed switches tell the air-conditioner to pause the moment a door or window opens, so the compressor stops cooling the car park.

Lockouts

Late-night key and front-desk hassles

TTLock smart locks issue a time-bound code from your booking workflow — no keys to cut, no cards to magnetise, no after-hours lockouts to handle.

Unseen

Guest EV charging on a room power point

One overnight charge can draw 50+ kWh your nightly rate never covered. Circuit-level monitoring surfaces it within minutes, not at the next bill.

What motels gain

Less waste, fewer hassles, a phased rollout you control.

Start with a handful of rooms, prove the saving, then expand. The hardware is off-the-shelf and self-installable by a licensed electrician — no construction, no on-site server.
