Hotel Retrofit

For existing hotels going smart, we offer two retrofit routes — Wireless Mesh and Wired RCU: minimal wall-breaking, minimal downtime, with guestroom control, lighting, HVAC and scene automation refreshed as a whole.

Retrofit Routes

Wireless Mesh vs Wired RCU · Which to choose

Route A

Wireless Retrofit

Bluetooth Mesh wireless networking — panels, luminaires and sensors install as-is with almost no rewiring; shortest schedule and least business impact, ideal for phased upgrades of operating hotels.

Operating / Fast rolloutLighting →
Route B

Wired RCU Retrofit

Industrial-grade CAN-bus RCU: modules store independently, a single fault never takes down the network, and local control survives network outage — for retrofits that demand long-term stability and scalability.

Comparison

Wireless Mesh vs Wired RCU Retrofit

Both routes share the same technology base; they differ mainly in wiring effort, schedule and fit, and can be combined per the hotel's operating rhythm.

Route A Detail

Wireless Mesh · Smart without disturbing guests

Keep existing power circuits; replace traditional switches with wireless panels, dimmers and sensors. Gateways plug into the existing network — no wall-breaking.

Wire-free panels

Battery or neutral-line smart panels, stick-on install, no damage to existing finishes.

Wireless dimming / switch

Add wireless dimming modules at luminaires; LED-compatible, flicker-free, keep original fixtures.

Door / DND / make-up

Wireless door sensor and status panel sync room state to front desk and WeChat butler.

Wireless HVAC

IR / RF AC controllers join the Mesh; welcome and sleep scenes linked.

Plug-and-play gateway

Per-floor wireless gateway into existing switches, centrally managing the floor.

WeChat butler

Guests control lights, curtains, AC and requests via WeChat — no app install.

Route B Detail

Wired RCU · Industrial-grade stable base

Deploy CAN-bus RCU panels and modular devices where partial wiring is possible; if any module fails the system auto-recovers in 5 seconds — built for long-term reliable operation.

CAN-bus RCU

Industrial CAN bus, multi-master with bus error-correction; one fault never halts the net.

RCU distribution box

Standard pre-assembled box with CAN power and circuit protection, install-ready on site.

Hot-swappable modules

On failure, correct data auto-downloads to the new module — unplug, swap, done, no expert on site.

Offline local control

TCP/IP heterogeneous networking; panels still control the room when the network drops.

Full scene linkage

Welcome, sleep, read, night, DND, make-up-room scenes switch with one tap.

BMS integration

Gateways tie into BMS / BA and the hotel management platform for unified O&M.

Delivery

Phased retrofit · Upgrade while open

01 Survey

Assess existing power, network and finishes; set wireless/wired ratio and scope.

02 Pilot room

Retrofit 1–2 demo rooms to validate experience and stability before rollout.

03 Phased build

Rolling work by floor or zone, hours per room, business basically uninterrupted.

04 Commissioning

Scene authoring, door display and WeChat butler connected; train and hand over.

Retrofitting an old hotel?

Our team delivers end-to-end — survey, pilot, phased build and commissioning. Wireless and wired routes can be combined on site.
