Overview
Tailor-made and energy-saving guest room management system. Optimized energy management, sustainable resource planning and long-term increase in returns for hotels. Hardware components (panels, thermostats) can be customized to fit the design concept of an establishment. Interfaces to common hotel and building systems enable management of room control, reservations, room status, housekeeping and more.

Lighting & illumination

• Smart LED illumination of keys (illuminated and non-illuminated variants)
• Night light: bus-integrated, dimmable (e.g. for mounting under the bed); motion-detection integration for automated night light control

Controllers & gateways

• RCX Controller: main control for the room; 32-bit processor; 5 I/Os; LAN port; RS485 bus port; optional connection to locking system (via bus, radio and BLE)
• RCA Controller: slave module; 5 I/Os; optional analog input (e.g. floor temperature sensor)
• 0-10V Gateway: slave module; 0/1 to 10 V; 4 floating outputs and 4 analog outputs
• DALI Gateway: slave module; transmission rate 1200 bit/s; extensible to integration of up to 63 DALI ballasts; addressing and grouping of DALI ballasts
• Phase dimmer gateway: slave module; 5 I/Os; connection of high-power phase dimmers (via bus)

Bus coupler & I/O modules

• Bus coupler: module solution for integrating custom switch programs into the MESSERSCHMITT bus system; e.g. for design luminaires with local pushbuttons; control of signal lamps integrated in third-party pushbuttons possible
• Two versions available: 8 x input OR 4 x input and 4 x output (e.g. for feedback)

Motion detectors & sensors

• Ceiling motion detector: detection range of 3.5 m with an installation height of 2.5 m
• Integrated motion detector: integration in MESSERSCHMITT panels and thermostats possible (exception: Luxury Line)

Power supply modules

• 12V power supply: system power supply
• 24V AC power supply: e.g. for valve power supply
• 24V DC power supply: e.g. for supplying the DALI bus
• 12V DC power supply with emergency power module: e.g. for use in elevators

Doorbell & access

• Bell module: smart doorbell system with convenient operation; can be integrated directly via bus; without additional wiring; several ring tones possible
• Keycard interface: connection via room-level or server-server interfaces to solutions from major lock/keycard vendors

Software & interfaces

• Web INCOS: web application to overview and manage room controls (light, temperature, room darkening etc.), view alarms and control sequences, create procedures (e.g. checkout automation)
• PMS interface: connection to conventional hotel/property management systems to manage reservations, room bookings, room status, housekeeping, back office, front desk, CRM and more
• Housekeeping interface: connection to conventional housekeeping systems
• BACnet interface: connect the RMS via BACnet to building automation devices
• Modbus interface: connect Modbus-capable devices from third-party manufacturers via Modbus RTU Device
• Room management interface: connection to solutions from various system manufacturers

Available integrations & supported third-party systems (examples)

• Common PMS and guest/room systems and brands (examples of supported interfaces and partners shown on the page)
• Interfaces and integrations for building automation vendors, HVAC manufacturers and hotel system providers

Benefits & use cases

• Personalized guest comfort: smart control of lighting, shades, temperature and more
• Energy savings: automated temperature management, data-driven optimization and machine-learning potential
• Operational efficiencies: remote management via app or PC, automation of procedures at checkout, integration with housekeeping and PMS
• Cost reduction through targeted control of heating/air conditioning and resource management
