Save Energy While Protecting Guest Comfort
HCX RoomController evaluates room presence, temperature, and humidity signals to stage air-conditioning use — without compromising guest comfort.

The energy savings range we observe across projects
Room climate automation
Make AC control staged and manageable based on room presence.
RoomController makes in-room presence and climate signals visible from the central panel. The primary installation approach is a USB module connected to the Android TV Box; existing AC compatibility over IR is assessed by brand and model before installation.
Proposed automation flow
Comfort is protected first; savings start gradually afterward.
Thresholds are engineered by property, room type, and season.
Detects presence
Guest comfort settings remain protected while the room is occupied.
Waits briefly
A tolerance period avoids immediate intervention after vacancy.
Economy stage
A season and room-type based economy setpoint is engineered.
Shuts down later
If vacancy continues, the AC shutdown scenario can be configured.
Key Benefits
- Monitor room-level presence, temperature, and humidity signals from a central panel
- Manage staged waiting, economy, and shutdown actions after the room becomes vacant
- Design scenarios that restore the last comfort setting when the guest returns
- Verify AC brand/model compatibility before project rollout
- Make room events and energy opportunities visible for reporting

How It Works
- 1
The in-room USB control module is engineered to work with the Android TV Box.
- 2
Presence, temperature, and humidity sensor signals are transferred into the central management scope.
- 3
When the room becomes vacant, the system waits for a short tolerance period instead of acting immediately.
- 4
If vacancy continues, the AC can be configured for an economy setpoint and then a long-absence shutdown scenario.
- 5
When the guest returns, the flow can restore the last comfort setting; events become visible in the dashboard for reporting.
Use Cases
- Multi-room accommodation facilities looking to lower energy costs
- Hotels that want to automate AC management based on occupancy
- Chain and thermal hotels that need energy-efficiency reporting

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the actual savings rate?
No fixed rate is guaranteed. Savings potential depends on facility infrastructure, climate, occupancy, AC model, room insulation, and usage habits; measured results require a comparable baseline period.
Is guest comfort affected?
No. In the proposed flow, the guest's comfort setting is preserved while the room is occupied; automation is engineered to take effect gradually after the room becomes vacant.
Which sensors are used?
A presence sensor and a temperature/humidity sensor are used; AC control is engineered through an IR transmitter according to the existing remote-control protocol.
Is it compatible with existing air conditioners?
Universal compatibility is not promised. Brand and model are assessed before quote/installation as verified, profile supported, or engineering required.
Can it run without a TV Box?
The current primary installation approach is a USB module integrated with the Android TV Box. Standalone operation without the TV Box is treated as a roadmap target, not as a standard feature.
