Guest arrival and departure dates can also be used to automatically manage thermostats, lights, air conditioning and other devices in your property.
The PMS you use every day already knows the check-in and check-out dates for every booking. What you may not know is that this information can become the starting point for automating many everyday tasks, such as adjusting the temperature or switching off the lights, without requiring you to intervene.
The tool that makes this connection possible is NAVOO Smart Controller.
From bookings to automation
Smart Controller is NAVOO’s system for controlling and managing the smart devices in your property, including thermostats, lights, air conditioning and sockets. You can also monitor their status remotely, including from your smartphone.
When you connect your PMS, Smart Controller automatically receives information about guest arrivals and departures and applies the rules you have configured.
You decide once what should happen. Smart Controller then performs the right actions at the right time, for every booking.
Here is a practical example: you create a rule that says, “At check-out, switch off the lights and air conditioning.” From then on, whenever a guest checks out, the rule is applied automatically. You do not need to recreate it or remember to check the devices each time.
What you can automate
For example, you can:
- adjust the temperature before guests arrive;
- switch on the devices needed for check-in;
- switch off lights, sockets or air conditioning after check-out;
- automatically update actions when the stay dates change.
This means you no longer need to remember to intervene manually at every guest changeover.
Fewer interventions, less waste
An air conditioner left on or a thermostat adjusted too early may seem like minor inconveniences.
But as the number of rooms or apartments increases, they also mean higher energy consumption, more checks and more journeys.
By automating the management of smart devices, you can reduce repetitive tasks and intervene only when it is really necessary, even when managing several properties in different locations.
Which PMS platforms can you connect?
Smart Controller can already be connected to some of the leading property management systems used in the hospitality industry, including Opera Cloud, MEWS, Guest Wisely, 5 Stelle, Hotel Cube, Alyante, Slope, Kalisi, WuBook, Lodgify, Guesty and TeamSystem Hospitality.
Can’t find your PMS on the list? Contact us: we will get in touch with your provider to assess a possible integration.
And if you do not use a property management system yet, no problem: you can also use Smart Controller without a PMS connection, by entering stays manually in the NAVOO Console.
With your PMS connected to Smart Controller, devices switch on, switch off and adjust at the right time: before check-in and after check-out, automatically.
